You are: The Peacock

Illustration of Peacock character

You have trophies for drinking games that haven’t been invented yet, and you know all the bartenders on Mass Ave. You’re the life of the party, the center of attention, and the most likely to break a leg when you drink.

You take pride in being a risk taker—but what (or who) you’re putting at risk isn’t always clear when you’re under the influence of alcohol. You will continue to learn many lessons the hard way, hopefully none of them ending with legal consequences.

Your party strength

You’ve learned a lot from experience.

Party smarter

Use these party tricks to keep yourself and others safe.

  • Play drinking games with water instead of alcohol.
  • Drink less than normal at big events.
  • Don’t swim or play sports during or after drinking.
  • Don’t operate heavy machinery.
  • Avoid drinking on rooftops or by open windows.
  • Space your drinks over time.
  • Do the right thing if a friend passes out. Call 911 immediately, put them on their side to prevent choking on their own vomit, and monitor them closely until an ambulance arrives. If they stop breathing, perform CPR or find someone who knows how.
