Drink Responsibly

At SIP&GO!, we believe parties should be fun, memorable, and safe. Learn about responsible drinking practices and how to ensure everyone has a great time while staying safe.

SIP&GO! is committed to promoting responsible drinking and party safety. While our app is designed to bring people together for fun and entertainment, we recognize the importance of alcohol awareness and safe consumption practices.

⚠️ Important Notice

This app is intended for adults aged 21+ in the United States and legal drinking age in other countries. Always drink responsibly and never drink and drive.

Responsible Drinking Guidelines

Responsible drinking means making informed choices about alcohol consumption while prioritizing your health, safety, and the safety of others. Here are essential guidelines to follow:

🚗 Never Drink & Drive

Always have a designated driver, use ride-sharing services, or arrange alternative transportation before drinking.

🥤 Stay Hydrated

Drink water between alcoholic beverages and throughout the evening to prevent dehydration.

🍕 Eat Before & During

Never drink on an empty stomach. Eat a proper meal before drinking and snack throughout the evening.

⏰ Pace Yourself

Limit yourself to one drink per hour. Your body needs time to process alcohol safely.

🚫 Know Your Limits

Understand your tolerance and stick to it. It's okay to stop drinking or switch to non-alcoholic alternatives.

👥 Stay With Friends

Use the buddy system. Look out for each other and never leave a friend alone when drinking.
