Know your limits: It's important to be aware of how much alcohol you can handle and to stick to that limit. Remember that vermouth is a fortified wine and has a higher alcohol content than regular wine.
Pace yourself: Sip your drink slowly and take breaks between drinks to give your body time to process the alcohol.
Eat food while you drink: Eating food while you drink can help slow down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream.
Drink water: Staying hydrated is important when you drink alcohol, so make sure to drink water throughout the night.
Don't drink and drive: If you plan to drink, make sure you have a designated driver or use a ride-sharing service to get home safely.
Be aware of vermouth's alcohol content: Vermouth typically has an alcohol content of around 15-18%, which is higher than many wines. It's important to be aware of this when you're mixing drinks or ordering at a bar.
Remember, responsible drinking means enjoying alcohol in moderation and making sure you're taking care of yourself and those around you.
