Dear Abby: Avert tragedy by following basic rules when serving alcoholic beverages to guests

DEAR READERS: Are you entertaining for the holidays? Whether you are having just a few friends over, or a houseful, if you plan to serve alcoholic beverages, here are a few timely suggestions: Many folks (more than you think) prefer something non-alcoholic, so let your guests know that soft drinks, iced tea, fruit and vegetable juices are available, and give them a choice. (It’s cheaper, too.) Always serve something to nibble on with cocktails. (Food retards the flow of alcohol into the bloodstream.) Don’t serve alcoholic drinks in king-sized glasses. They hold too much. Never “load” drinks or force “just one more” on anyone. That kind of generosity does no one a favor. White wine (a favorite these days) tends to go down more easily, so people are apt to consume more wine than liquor, but be aware that wine is no less intoxicating. And don’t sell beer short as an intoxicant, either. Never offer a departing guest “one for the road.”

Children enjoy stories read aloud

GENEVA, N.Y. (AP) - Young children who beg their parents to read stories aloud are attracted more by the cadence of the voice than by the story line, a professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges says. “Kids come into tune with the music of the language well

before they comprehend the plot,” according to Charles Temple. Although children don’t grasp the plot until the age of 2 or 3, the simple act of reading aloud can create a “fantastic association” that can start a lifelong love of books, Temple says.

Stop serving alcohol well before the party is over, and bring out the coffee, tea and snacks. This is to allow the guests who have a buzz on time to sober up before they buzz off. If a guest shows any signs of intoxication, do not let him drive home! Call a taxi or drive him home yourself. Or insist that he stay all night. (Better your sofa, or even your floor, than a hospital bed—or heaven forbid, the morgue.) I want to emphatically state that everyone does not have the same tolerance level for alcohol, so the best rule to follow is: If you drink, don’t drive, and if you drive, don’t drink. Have a happy, healthy, safe New Year. And if you’re a host or hostess, help your friends to have one, too.

that I still have a reasonably good reputation. Sex for me is an addiction—like alcohol or gambling. I can’t seem to control it. Have you ever heard of this, Abby? Is there any help for me? GIRL WHO CAN’T SAY NO DKAR GIRL: In 1979 a small group of men and women, who realized that their lives were out of control because of their addiction to sex, formed an organization that they appropriately named “Sexaholics Anonymous” based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. They are serious, responsible people who admit that their lives have become unmanageable because of their compulsive sexual behavior, and they look to a higher power (God) for the strength to achieve sexual sobriety. “S.A.” has grown enormously and now has chapters all over the United States and Canada. For information, write to S.A., Box 300, Simi Valley, Calif. 93060. This is a non-profit organization, so please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
