The holidays are a time for joy, connection, and festive drinks — but finding balance can help you fully enjoy the season.

  • Sip mindfully, opt for lower-alcohol alternatives, and hydrate regularly.
  • Plan ahead with a designated driver or rideshare to ensure everyone gets home safely.
  • Explore alcohol-free options or relaxing activities to support mental well-being.
