You are: The Social Butterfly

Illustration of Social Butterfly character

You have more friends than Oprah. You love to flutter about, meeting new people, mixing your friend groups, and randomly shrieking, “I love your shoes!”

On the flip side, you are very easily influenced. Mixed with alcohol, the desire to be liked can cloud your better judgment.

Your party strength

You make friends wherever you go.

Party smarter

Use these party tricks to keep yourself and others safe.

  • Stay with the same group of friends.
  • Don’t let others get or mix you a drink.
  • Refuse to ride in a car with an intoxicated driver.
  • Give friends permission to intervene.
  • Be wary of large quantities of free alcohol.
  • Be careful when drinking liquor or mixed drinks (high alcoholic content).
  • Spend more time with friends who don’t drink heavily or at all.
  • Be cautious about drinking too much on dates.
  • Practice ways to be comfortable in social settings without drinking.
  • Avoid drinking from shared containers.
  • 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.
