First Date Dating Tip: Don't Drink Too Much

You may fancy yourself as someone who can hold their alcohol, and this may be true, but a date isn’t the place to show off what your learned at the frat house in college.

Do not have more than two drinks all evening. If you’re going out for drinks after dinner, then fine; but if your date ends with dinner, then you should keep it to one drink total. You may know for a fact that there’s no way in hell two drinks is going to make you sloppy, but you can never gauge the tolerance of someone else—not just with alcohol but with drinkers in general. If you want to get silly on too much champagne, save it for further into the relationship. Besides, you really don’t want to deal with a hangover the morning after when you should be recapping what a great time you had and planning your next date.
