As you get ready for the festivities, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and NAADAC wish to remind you to remind your clients to party safely. Pass on some expert tips – like what counts as a drink, what’s considered “risky drinking,” and how many drinks are really in that Halloween brew.
