You can save your own life and the lives of others by keeping yourself clean and sober. There are many great non-alcoholic beverage options.
Attend the Right Parties
There are far too many 4th of July parties that revolve around getting high or drunk. That is nothing you need to be a part of. There are also many 4th of July parties that focus more on socializing, barbecues, having safe fun, and spending time with loved ones, friends and your community. Those parties are generally substance-free and much safer than the other types of parties. If you want to keep yourself and your friends or family safe, you may want to ask them to tag along to these safer parties.
