#2 Have “Pulutan” while Drinking
Fatty acids help slowly your being drunkenness. Eating meat while having a drinking spree with friends will help you nail it.
#3 Drink Water in between Booze
You should drink water in between liquors. This will keep you hydrated and will reduce the effect of alcohol in you.
#4 Use the Dilute Method
Drink without getting drunk by visihow.com suggests having a half shot then fill it up with a soda or mixer.
#5 Try Fructose Method
The same visihow.com article suggests drinking a bit of honey will most likely lower your BAC to 80%.
#6 Use Smaller Glass Method
Smaller glass means smaller consumption of liquor.
#7 Don’t Mix Drinks
This is a very common knowledge to all. Mixing drinks means disaster.
#8 Set a limit to your Alcohol Tolerance
Studies recommend that men should consume the amount of 3 drinks while 2 for women. If you feel like you get drunk after 3 bottles of beer, stop it and strictly follow it.
#9 Just bring enough Money
This will force you to stop buying drinks and for sure you will not get drunk.
#10 Drink Milk
Though still debated for its effectiveness, the dairy will help absorb the alcohol less. Though not totally, at least it will keep you stay sober longer.
#11 Don’t forget to Groove
Never forget to sweat out while drinking. Dancing or just moving around is proven and tested to effective to lessen intoxication.
#12 Use Deception Method
If most people in the round table already consumed much, instead of saying “pass sako bay”, try to say “humana ko, imo na na.” Another trick is you can also appear that you put something in the glass then as if drink it. (Tried this and it surely worked for me; of course with tequila and in a dark corner so that they won’t clearly see it)
These are just simple methods how to avoid being a mess in Sinulog. But the best technique is to follow your instinct. If you feel and think that you’re drunk then stop it. You could never go wrong with that. But if all of these fail, you can always puke. Enjoy Sinulog 2017!
