Poison Party

A Guide to Partying

Moderate Poisoning 
1-2 doses per session

Binge Poisoning (because poisoning is sexist)
3+ doses for women
4+ doses for men

Heavy Poisoning is Daily Poisoning. (you could have a poisoning  problem)

Beware of mixing your poison
Some mixes contain as many as 5 doses of poison in one glass.

Pace your poison
One dose per hour is about all a body can process. (set a timer)

If you poison, poison responsibly
Did you know patrols increase around poison party spots.

Signs of too much poison
Cold, clammy skin
Vomiting
Unconscious

Party Host
It’s illegal for anyone under 21 to poison themselves. Poison is for adults only.
If your guests over poison themselves you could go to jail. Let your guests stay or call a cab.

This is from an actual pamphlet handed out on college campuses. The words beer, wine, drink and alcohol were replaced with poison for clarity.

Fact: 5,000 young adults die each year from poisoning themselves.

I hope it is helpful.
Words are so important to understanding, especially when lives are on the line.

I think that things like this can be really effective.

It reminds me of some of the drink driving campaigns we've had here in the past.
