Cinco de Mayo is one of the most fun holidays of the year if you ask any tequila, corona or beach lover out there. It is one day that you’re bound to find block parties, drink specials and a lot of fun things to do. While social holidays can be a great opportunity to ask out that special someone you’ve been eying lately, one centered on drinking could be a risky gamble and might send the wrong impression.

We’re not advising you to sit at home and pass up date opportunities on Cinco de Mayo, but you should be cautious about which venues and outings you say yes to. Drinking too much on a date, especially on a first date, is never a good idea. You want to get to know someone, maintain control of yourself and most importantly be safe.

The first time you go out with someone, you don’t necessarily know anything about them. So, by all means, have a drink or two, but pace yourself and don’t get too caught up in the festivities. You don’t want to be the drunk dancing on a table entering a wet t-shirt contest at the end of the night. Then again, maybe that’s exactly what you want to do! Happy Cinco de Mayo. Make good decisions!
