Top Five Be Well Buzz Tips for November
Boo! Happy Halloweekend!

What holiday activities bring you light and laughs as the days grow darker? If your gatherings include alcohol, keep these tips in mind:
  • Before you go out - Make a plan. Choose your squad. Set a drink limit. Eat. Charge your phone. Plan your exit.
  • Keep it world class!  Most students who drink make it an accessory, not the main event. Hard alcohol (over 15% ABV) is now banned at frat parties - chose lower alcohol beverages to keep it social not slurred.
  • Stick with your plan and your squad.  Stay in common spaces - not in private rooms - to drink.
  • Drink water! Berkeley's water is tasty and safe to drink straight out of the tap. Alternate every alcoholic drink with water to stay hydrated!

Physical Therapy Month
Physical Therapy is a safe alternative to opioids for pain management. 

Physical therapists treat pain through movement and exercise, helping patients improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Physical therapists also educate their patients about pain, which is known to improve outcomes. Learn more about our Physical Therapy team and what they can do for you!
