Going out and having a few drinks with your friends is fun, but getting drunk can lead to bad decisions and feeling miserable the next day.

You can learn how to curb some of the side effects from drinking to help you safely enjoy your night out.

If you’ve ever wanted to drink alcohol without getting drunk, you know it’s easier said than done. However you can always find a way around it. You can have a nice time with friends over drinks and no when to stop.

Here are a few ways to drink without getting drunk;

Set Limits
Most of us don’t know how much alcohol we really consume, once know how many bottles can knock you off, then decide how much you need (or want) to moderate your boozing. Set a limit and try as much as possible to live by it.

Slow Down
One of the simplest ways to stay within your limits is to drinking slow. If you tend to gulp down your first few glasses, try putting it down between sips. Aim to take 20-30 minutes to finish a drink.

Drink Warm Water
We all know we’re supposed to be alternating our alcoholic drinks with pints of water, but did you know it needs to be room temperature to get the most out of it? It activates your digestive system and helps flush out the toxins you’re consuming with every glass of wine,gin or tequila .

Watch Where You Drink

I Quit Drinking & My Friends Treat Me Like An Outcast Because Of It
Research has shown that people are more likely to drink heavily in places where lights are turned down low. Watch where you take your drinks. Women tend to drink more when there are lot of women and fewer men around. Conversely, people tend to consume less in the presence of families, in well-lit places, and where there are activities that compete with drinking, such as restaurants.

Refuse Drinks Sometimes
Funny right? All your good intentions can go out of the window if you don’t resist drinks. If you leave the table for a few minutes take your near empty glass with you, so it doesn’t get filled up in your absence. If friends insist you join in every round, ask for non- alcoholic drink. If they persist, have a reply ready ‘I have to get up early tomorrow,’ or ‘I’m detoxing.

Reward Yourself
Shallow? Well it is effective! Set yourself a goal, such as drinking a few bottles less every week for four weeks. Then, choose a reward, a shopping spree, or a spa day or anything you really love doing if you achieve it.

Eat Sausage Roll At The Same Time
Foods that are high in both fat and protein have been proven to help soak up that alcohol and keep your energy levels high throughout the night. So you can eat a sausage roll or scotch egg while you gulp down your drinks.

OdumoduBlvck recently praised Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy in an interview with Beats FM.

The rapper discussed his latest project, “Nothing Changed,” a collaborative effort with the Anti-World Gangsters crew. The album features Don Jazzy on the track “Asampete.”

OdumoduBlvck revealed that after recording “Asampete,” he felt the song would benefit from Don Jazzy’s contribution. When approached, Don Jazzy readily agreed to the request.

During their meeting, Don Jazzy not only added his vocals to the song but also surprised OdumoduBlvck with a generous gift of $10,000.

Impressively, Don Jazzy declined any royalties for his contribution to the track.

“When I went to his house to get his vocals, he gave me $10,000 and even my friend was asking me why he gave me such a huge amount of money,” he narrated in the interview.

OdumoduBlvck further praised Don Jazzy, describing him as the most original personality in the Nigerian music industry and a true icon.

“There’s nobody more original than Don Jazzy…The way the younger artists look up to Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, and Olamide today is how they used to look up to Don Jazzy”.

OdumoduBlvck’s praise for Don Jazzy’s generosity and influence on the Nigerian music industry echoes sentiments expressed by numerous artists whose careers have been shaped by the Mavin Records boss.

Four-time Grammy nominee Davido has credited Don Jazzy and D’banj’s flamboyant lifestyle for inspiring him to relocate to Nigeria and pursue his musical aspirations.

Don Jazzy’s philanthropic endeavours also continue to make headlines. Recently, he donated a substantial sum of 100 million naira to Very Dark Man’s charity.

The acclaimed actress articulated that personal growth and fulfilment stem from embracing one’s authentic self rather than conforming to societal expectations or public judgment.

“Seeking to be liked by all is a sign that you are emotionally and spiritually imbalanced! Some people will hate you because to hate is what gives them joy!! Because they are genetically wicked!!! So get used to not being liked!!!!1 John 5:19.”

Actress Sola Sobowale commented simply, “Fact.”

Other followers shared their thoughts, with one writing, “Anyone who is always seeking validation from the public whenever he or she does something, just know say that person no clear 💯.”

“Caring what people think about you is natural. Letting it drive your behaviours and keep you from doing things you believe in is usually a sign of,” said another person.

Another Instagram user shed more light on the issue, saying,

“codependency conditioning. The core belief in codependency is: what people think of me defines what I think of me. My mother always said, “Your opinion of me is none of my business.” It can get real exhausting perceiving yourself through the eyes of others. No matter how pure your intention, you cannot control how people receive you. Give others the freedom to perceive you as they wish, for it’s merely a reflection of themselves and not your reality. Never mind who sees you. Do you see you?”

“I don’t like people who wanna be liked by everyone, just do you and move on,”

“Thisss ,it’s okay to be a bad person in another persons story ,Only God is PERFECT 👍”

Elozonam Reflects On How “Japa” Makes It Hard For Him To Make Friends

Elozonam on how ‘japa’ makes it hard for him to make friends | fab.ng

Former BBNaija star and content creator Elozonam revealed how Nigeria’s “japa” syndrome—where individuals emigrate in search of better opportunities abroad—has impacted his personal relationships, especially with friends and family.

During a conversation on the Uncoloured Podcast, hosted by fellow BBNaija alum Venita, Elozonam candidly shared how his twin brother’s relocation has significantly altered their once-close dynamic.

“For my twin brother and I, being twins, we naturally used to argue a lot,” Elozonam said. “But after he left, there was nothing to fight about. Now I have to consciously reach out to him because there are days or weeks when I don’t hear from him. It’s frustrating, but I understand that everyone has to do what they need to survive and build a better life.”

Elozonam reflected on how the japa wave has reshaped his social circle. He traced the trend back to 2018 when his former boss moved abroad with his family.

“That seemed to open the floodgates,” he said. “Since then, people have been leaving one after the other. It’s exhausting. You become hesitant to form new friendships because you don’t know if they’ll just up and leave tomorrow.”

He expressed deep frustration about Nigeria’s deteriorating economy and infrastructure. He acknowledged that unemployment, insecurity, and poor living conditions push many Nigerians to seek better opportunities in other countries.

“Between 2018 and 2024, I’ve seen so many people leave. Nigeria isn’t improving, and everyone wants a better future. It’s hard to blame them, but it’s also hard for those of us left behind.”

Watch the interview below.
