List five of the "Do's" and "Don'ts" of how to react when your date is drinking


Answers can include any of the following.
When your date drinks:

• Don't make excuses for his/her behavior, no matter how embarrassing.

• Don't allow embarrassment to put you in a situation with which you are uncomfortable.

• Do be sure that body language and tone of voice match verbal messages you send.

• Do leave as quickly as you can, without your date. Don't stop to argue. Intoxicated people can't listen to reason.

• Do call a cab, a friend, or your parents. Don't ride home with your date.

For women:

• Do make your position clear. "No!" is much more effective than "Please stop!" or "Don't!"

• Do make it clear that you will call the police if rape is attempted.
