If you start to feel uncomfortable at a party, a good option is to:

• A. Plan to exit and call a ride or designated driver
• B. Find someone else to drink with
• C. Stay and ignore the discomfort
• D. Drink more to feel better

Answer: (C)

When you start to feel uncomfortable in a social setting, your safety and comfort should come first. A smart move is to step away from the party and arrange a ride home or a designated driver. This gives you control over the situation, reduces exposure to anything that’s making you uncomfortable, and ensures you can get home safely without relying on others or making risky choices. Staying and ignoring the discomfort tends to prolong exposure to a situation that may escalate or become unsafe. Drinking more to feel better usually dulls judgment and can make things worse. Looking for someone to drink with doesn’t address the underlying signal your body is sending and can lead to more risk or more time spent in an uncomfortable environment.
