Although most of us live for the festive season and the celebrating that goes with it, there are a number reasons why over indulging during this time of year can be dangerous, some of these include,

• weight gain
• a change in your behaviour, possibly for the worst.
• damage to your liver
• kidney problems

Here are some ways to survive the festive season drinking,

• Do something different. Instead of meeting at the pub for a drink, go for a walk instead.
• Swap the bubbly (champagne and sparkling wine) for sparkling water.
• Pick and choose the events where you’ll drink and those where you wont.
• Alternate one alcoholic drink with a glass of water.
• Say “no” sometimes when offered a drink.
