LIGHTSIDE

A rabbi, a priest and a pastor were all in a boat together
fishing.
The pastor said to the others, "I think I am going to go over to
that shore and sit down." So he gets out of the boat, walks across the water and sits down on the shore.

Then, the priest says to the rabbi, "I think I am going to go
over and join him." So, he does the same as the pastor and sits next to him on the shore.

The rabbi thinks to himself, "well if they can do it, so can I".
He climbs out of the boat, but he falls right down in the water.

The priest says to the pastor, "should we have told him about the rocks".

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING

If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them
the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate
many fatal road accidents are caused by drunk drivers.

If you’re having a party, provide food with drinks.
Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.

2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a
075 reading. One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2
bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after
drinking has stopped is 015. A 200 pound person, after 1 drink
produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big difference due to weight.

As a host it is your duty to make sure no one leaves your party impaired. Have some one drive them home
