Basic Tips on Alcohol Mixing and drinking (Do's and Dont's)

These Basic Tips are some important things that you must keep in mind, and some are so obvious that you may sometimes forget them. They are not in any specific order:

If your body asks for Booze give it booze, If it doesn't then force it to drink some.
Use your pinky finger correctly. Your hand was designed with 5 fingers for a reason. The thumb and the 3 first fingers help keep your glass balanced, but the support against gravity for the glass must be given by the pinky. This is especially true for long runs of drinking in places where you don't have tables (standing up, driving, etc). If you keep this in mind you won't get tired and can enjoy drinking for a longer period of time.
A recent study shows that 96.5% of all people who died last year had drank water at least once in their lives, as compared to only 64.2% that had consumed alcohol. Draw your own conclusions. Also, it is well known that water : can cause excessive sweating and vomiting, is a major component in acid rain, can cause severe burns in its gaseous state, accidental inhalation can kill you , contributes to erosion, decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes ,has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
When you mix a drink do it in the proper order, which is usually :1st Ice. 2nd Alcohol, 3rd Filler (e.g. juice or soda), and then any secondary ingredient.
Always use very cold ice. Not all ice has the same temperature. Usually good ice looks dry outside, and if you touch it, it will stick to your finger. Bad ice is one that looks wet outside and is dripping from all sides. If you use ice that isn't very cold your drink will be watery and hot. Don't be cheap.Aafter you finish your drink throw away all left-over ice (it'll already have lost all its cooling potential) and start the new drink with fresh cold ice.
Dry Ice (I mean frozen CO2 not very cold water ice) is fun to use sometimes, but don't use it with carbonated beverages.
If you are preparing large quantities of drinks, a pitcher-full or a bathtub-full, for example, put all the ingredients except for the ice and put the ice in the glasses upon serving (unless you are drinking directly from the bathtub).
Never leave a glass full, never leave a glass empty. If its full empty it; if its empty fill it.
Don't "drink" alcohol intravenously. Although it may be fun, it's very dangerous. If you MUST do it, then be sure to use a new disposable needle for each person (or use a condom) and have a designated "doctor" who can be anyone of your friends, who should only be drinking the traditional way (orally), and must be nearby to take the needle out once you pass out or take you to the hospital for revival.
Always use natural fruit juices. Canned or artificial juices suck.
Don't drink and drive. You may hit a bump and spill your drink. If you MUST drink and drive, then please be very careful and hold your glass with both hands.
Don't mix your drink with garbage. It's of very bad taste to do those frat initiations that give you beer with coffee, salt, Tabasco sauce and urine. If you must do a frat initiation, then skip the beer.
If you smoke and drink you'll get drunk faster and the hangover will be worse. Don't drink and smoke at the same time or you won't be able to drink as much as if you where not smoking.
If you can't decide between drinking beer or hard licquer, follow this simple rule: first drink beer until you can't drink more of it. Then drink hard licquer (Marenzi A., Barcillo, 1995)
