Be a responsible host
It’s summertime party season, with graduations and weddings and neighborhood gatherings and picnics.
Alcohol and parties go together like chips and salsa. While alcohol is not exactly healthy (except maybe that one glass of red wine once in awhile, for the resveratrol – an antioxidant), it’s going to be at most adult parties.
When we’re doing the hosting, we offer water as well as some alcohol. Pitchers of water with citrus fruits, pomegranate seeds, cucumber slices, pineapple spears, or other fruits are attractive and festive. And by offer, we mean we say it out loud. “Have a glass of pineapple water! It’s so refreshing!”
We also offer plenty of healthy food options, starring lean proteins, vegetable proteins, complex carbs, fruits, and vegetables. Real food.
And we’re on the lookout for guests who should take a cab or spend the night. We plan for both options with the number of the local cab company by the phone, and clean sheets in the guest bedroom.
