behavior

90th Space Wing Goals

• Increase prevalence of no-risk or low-risk drinking

• Reduce ARIs

Responsible Drinking

What’s the Definition of “one drink”?

• Whether it's served slightly chilled, room temperature, or on the rocks, here's the answer:

one 12 oz. beerat 4-5% alcohol (look at the label)

one 1.5 oz shot of hard liquor at 40% alcohol or 80 proof

one 5 oz. glass of wine at 11% alcohol

Commander’s Expectations

• We are accountable to uphold USAF standards

• Responsible drinking means drinking in moderation

(0-0-1-3)

• If you plan to drink, develop a safe plan for getting

home…before you walk out the door

• Look out for your buddy

• We all need to contribute to responsible drinking
