When enrolling in college, you’re also signing yourself up for an occasional session of day drinking. While thinking about your track record and how long you can make it into a night out, it can make day drinking seem intimidating. Fear not, the long-lived tradition is easily maneuverable with a few key rules. Don’t scar yourself with a bad day drinking experience and never pick up a beer before 5 P.M. again. These 10 rules of thumb can help you take on the day and keep you drinking into the night.
10. Every party is going to involve pictures. I mean, did you even turn up if it didn’t go on Snapchat… The trick is to take those pictures early in the day though. You’ll thank me later when you’re six shots in and your “hot mess” status is not cute.
9. Drink water! A long day of drinking will be followed by a long, painful hangover. Drink 3 glasses of water before you switch to alcohol. Then do drunk you a favor and put a water bottle by your bed to drink before you go to sleep.
8. Delete your ex’s phone number. A drunk dial at night is understandable, a drunk dial during the day though makes it seem like you don’t have your shit together.
