Be Cool: How to Not Catch a Case This Summer

3.  Keeping your cool…at the family barbecue.
A casual conversation over iced tea and pasta salad can quickly turn into an argument about how Aunt Katrina is so bourgeois and thinks she’s better than everyone else. There’s something about liquor, barbecue and the summer sun that makes for loose lips and flying fists at many family cookouts. The night doesn’t always have to end with a police report. Try limiting the liquor; instead of serving liquor, serve beer which more people can handle. If children are in attendance, try going alcohol-free for a night. Give the party a curfew; the later the night drags on the more opportunities there are for people to catch attitudes.
