You are: The Alpha Wolf

Illustration of Alpha Wolf character

You have a magnetic personality and rarely embarass yourself in social situations where alcohol is involved. In fact, you are usually protecting your friends from their own foolishness.

Sometimes you feel like the leader of the group, and other times you feel like the chaperone on a field trip of small children at the zoo. You are the voice of reason: and usually, that voice is yelling, “It’s time to go home now!”

You easily influence others. People trust your opinion, your judgment, and your taste in bars. You make the plans, you keep the plans, and you always have a backup plan for when the original plan falls through.

Have you ever considered using your power and influence to help your friends make smarter choices when they drink? If anyone can do it, you can.

Your party strength

You never abandon your pack.

Party smarter

Use these party tricks to keep yourself and others safe.

  • Make a game plan—before anyone starts drinking—and make sure everyone knows the plan before heading out.
  • Choose a designated driver. Make sure they keep their promise not to drink.
  • Never drive after drinking.
  • 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.
