WHAT ABOUT YOU?

If you’re starting your pre-season training, think about planning some alcohol-free days into your schedule.

You’ll train and play better and your body will enjoy the drinks break.

Planning on a few drinks after the game this weekend?

Remember to pace yourself by drinking plenty of water, spacing out your drinks and eating throughout the night.

Have a plan for how you’re getting home or take one for the team and be the sober driver. Cheers!

If work stress or family pressures are driving you to drink, there’s plenty of support available to help work through the issues you’re facing. Talk to your family doctor, call or text 1737 or jump online to www.depression.org.nz or www.thelowdown.
