Summer is starting this weekend! With warmer weather comes more opportunities to enjoy time with friends and family during barbecues, lake days, and long weekends. It's also a time when drinking happens more often.

As you enjoy the season, remember to check-in with your relationship with alcohol. If you’re thinking about taking a short break or considering a longer-term shift, summer can still be fun without the buzz. A mindful approach to drinking doesn’t mean giving up a good time, it means expanding your definition of it.

¡El verano empieza este fin de semana! Con el buen tiempo llegan más oportunidades para disfrutar con amigos y familiares en barbacoas, días en el lago y fines de semana largos. También es la época en la que se bebe más.

Mientras disfruta de la temporada, recuerde reflexionar sobre su relación con el alcohol. Si está pensando en tomarse un descanso o considerar un cambio a largo plazo, el verano puede seguir siendo divertido sin excesos. Un enfoque consciente hacia el consumo de alcohol no significa renunciar a la diversión, sino ampliar su perspectiva sobre ella.

Cuando se trata del Orgullo, las personas deberían poder celebrarlo de maneras que les hagan sentir seguras, felices y orgullosas, incluso cuando haya alcohol presente.

Asistir con amigos que le apoyen, hidratarse con agua y otras bebidas sin alcohol, establecer límites y llegar más temprano a los eventos son excelentes maneras de beber menos mientras se muestra tal como es.

When it comes to Pride, people should be able to celebrate in ways that make them feel safe, happy, and proud, even when alcohol is present.

Attending with supportive friends, hydrating with water and other nonalcoholic drinks, setting limits and showing up to earlier events are all great ways to drink less while showing up as your authentic self.

Did you know men tend to drink alcohol more often than women? They are also more likely to binge drink. Even before alcohol causes long-term health problems, it can hurt your workouts, lower your energy, disrupt your sleep, and slow down your recovery.

Drinking less plays a big role in living a healthier life. It can help you avoid injuries and accidents now, as well as lower your risk for heart disease and certain cancers later in life.

¿Sabía que los hombres tienden a beber alcohol con más frecuencia que las mujeres? También son más propensos a beber en exceso. Incluso antes de que el alcohol cause problemas de salud a largo plazo, puede perjudicar sus entrenamientos, disminuir su energía, alterar su sueño y retrasar su recuperación.

Reducir el consumo de alcohol es fundamental para llevar una vida más saludable. Puede ayudarle a evitar lesiones y accidentes ahora, además de disminuir el riesgo de padecer enfermedades cardíacas y ciertos tipos de cáncer en el futuro.

Pride shows up in a lot of ways across Oregon — in families, friendships, and in the small moments we take to connect with each other.

This non alcoholic punch adds a little color to those moments with orange juice, lemonade, and a splash of grenadine over ice, finished with a cherry and an orange slice.

El Orgullo se manifiesta de muchas maneras en todo Oregón: en nuestras familias, en nuestras amistades y en los pequeños momentos que aprovechamos para conectarnos unos con otros.

Este ponche sin alcohol le da un toque de color a esos momentos con jugo de naranja, limonada y un chorrito de granadina sobre hielo, decorado con una cereza y una rodaja de naranja.
