>>4554911The object of drinking is to maintain a nice buzz for a long period of time. Not to pass out. If you start to feel dizzy or nauseous, go find a place to sit down and drink some water. Don't drink again until you feel better. If you feel really bad, go back to your room or find a friend, preferably of the same gender, to take you back there.
Don't leave your drink unattended.
Do not take anything anyone you don't know gives you unless someone you do know is there or you see the bottle.
Again, if you are going to take illegal drugs, do not take them from strangers ever. Only take them from people you trust.
If you want to hookup with someone, do it discreetly. If you can't find a way, wait. The bathroom can be okay if you are quiet and non-obvious. Even in your own room with the door closed, remember to not make a ton of sex noises and be sure to put up the do not disturb sign. Put a pair of cat ears on the door if you have to. No one wants to walk in on that.
If you are planning on throwing a room party, contact the con or hotel and check the website. Many cons now have designated room party areas or rules for room parties. Follow them. Being in the designated room party area or at least in rooms next to people you know and who will be at the party is a very good idea. Then you can feel free to make noise a bit more, which you will do, even if you don't mean to.
If your party doesn't break up naturally by 3am, it might be a good idea to try to reduce the noise or maybe try going elsewhere so people can get some sleep.
Get mixers, alcopops, fruity crap, and rum. Girls and men who are secure in their masculinity (and/or gay) like them, and they are important to the success of a party. Don't whine or hate. Try one first. They are tasty.
