New Year's Eve revellers were given a 10-point survival guide by the UK Government last night:
• 1 Eat before drinking. Food slows down how fast alcohol gets into your bloodstream.
• 2 Drink lighter beers. The difference between a pint of 5% lager, and a 3.5% or 4% one is a whole unit of alcohol.
• 3 Set a drinks limit. Decide a drinks limit in advance and then stick to it.
• 4 Have an occasional water or soft drink. Consider alternating between an alcoholic drink and a non-alcoholic to keep hydrated.
• 5 Try to stay out of rounds. Rounds may mean you end up drinking more than you intended as you accept people returning your kindness after you have bought them a drink.
• 6 Don"t get pushed around. Never feel as though you have to drink something if you don't want to.
• 7 Keep track of what you"ve had. It is hard to say '"That"s my limit tonight"' if you don"t know how much you"ve had.
• 8 Use more mixers. Diluting a drink with another mixer will make it last longer and lessen the effects.
• 9 Drink smaller drinks. A large glass of wine in most bars is equivalent to a third of a bottle.
• 10 Plan your journey home. Make arrangements before you start drinking and make sure you don"t get left to walk home alone

Have fun anyway, see you in 2008! ;)

• 2 Drink Jack Daniels all night
• 3 My drink limit is infinite
• 4 Water is bad, mmkay
• 5 Rounds are fun, when you're not paying
• 6 If someone offers you a drink, of course you must have it
• 7 After 8 double jacks who cares what you drink
• 8 Mix Jack Daniels with Absinthe you say?
• 9 Instead of drinking bottle of wine, drink a few double Jack Daniels
• 10 The 'journey home' is the best, so unpredictable and often fun. More chance of finding a house party
only beer and maybe a couple of shooters. Irish flag ftw \O/
