As the new year fast approaches, there are plenty of ways to celebrate your New Year\u2019s Eve countdown in Hong Kong, whether that\u2019s seeing the new version of the \u201cSymphony of Lights\u201d show<\/a>, or hosting a party at home with close friends and family.<\/p>\n

Here are a few tips from Pacific Prime Hong Kong<\/a> to help you party responsibly, no matter where you celebrate.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Individual<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n

Partying at home<\/h2>\n

On New Year\u2019s Eve, partying in the comfort of your own home is a great idea. If you\u2019re hosting family, friends, and other guests, here are some ways to ensure everyone can start off the new year in style:<\/p>\n

Consider your alcohol liability<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s nothing like celebrating the beginning of a new year with a glass of bubbly. But if you plan to serve alcohol<\/a> in your home, be a responsible host by ensuring none of your guests get behind the wheel of a car. Drunk driving is a serious risk to your guests and others on the road. If your friends and family have no choice but to drive to you, then get them to sleepover until they recover the next morning.<\/p>\n

Remind your family, friends, and guests to designate a driver for the journey home<\/h3>\n

Let everyone joining you at the party know that alcohol will be served and if they are planning to consume that they make a plan to get home safely. There are plenty of ways to find a designated driver, whether it\u2019s calling a cab, using a ridesharing service (eTaxi<\/a>, Uber Hong Kong<\/a>, and Fly Taxi<\/a>), or asking a friend to take your guests home safely.<\/p>\n

Serve plenty of food<\/h3>\n

Provide your guest with plenty of food throughout the evening until the count down. A well-prepared menu of food and non-alcoholic drinks will not only keep your guests happy and occupied, but it can also help counter the effects of alcohol. Try having pickles<\/a>, olives, and other slightly salty foods available for your guests to munch on.<\/p>\n

Did you know that these snacks<\/a> replenish the body with an important hangover-fighting electrolyte known as sodium?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Enriching almonds and nuts<\/a> contain healthy fats and proteins that can slow the absorption of alcohol and keep the hangover at bay.<\/p>\n

Ensure water is available for your guests too, as drinking water will help cleanse the body of toxins and alcohol, but also prevent a terrible headache the following morning.<\/p>\n

Out and about on New Year\u2019s Eve in Hong Kong<\/h2>\n

If hosting a party isn\u2019t your first choice and celebrating out in the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong is definitely your thing, then here are some tips to help you get back home safely:<\/p>\n

Designate a driver for yourself<\/h3>\n

It is important that you put your safety first and plan ahead. Arranging a designated driver to get you home is the best thing for you and your friends to consider after celebrating. If you\u2019re planning to celebrate with alcohol, decide how you\u2019ll be getting home first before you drink. Ride-hailing apps are appropriate as they are trustworthy and can pick you up wherever you are.<\/p>\n

Celebrate with friends<\/h3>\n

Whether you are a guy or girl, go out together with friends rather than solo as there\u2019s safety in numbers. Plan ahead with friends and notify one another of the location or venue you’re visiting in case you get separated. Have a contingency plan, and be streetwise by avoiding crowds and tight spaces.<\/p>\n

Charge your phone<\/h3>\n

Before you head out to celebrate, make sure your phone is fully charged. Getting stuck in the middle of Hong Kong with a dead battery will make it difficult to meet with friends or hail a ride home if needed. If you are a heavy user or an avid taker of photos on your phone, carrying a power bank (portable charger) will help provide much-needed power in case you run out of battery.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t leave your car exposed overnight<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t fall victim to theft or arson by leaving your car parked out on the street near celebrations. It\u2019s probably wise to leave your car in the driveway or garage \u2013 and don\u2019t forget to lock the doors. Damage can easily be done by passers-by or easily stolen by thieves looking for an easy opportunity.<\/p>\n
