(1888PressRelease) December 04, 2015 - The traditional holiday season has started with busy traveling, parties, and get-togethers. It is also a period of time that sees heavy alcohol consumption by Americans, the heaviest of any time in the year.

"During the holiday season people are drinking for numerous reasons," said Randy Haveson, M.A., author of the Party With A Plan book series. "It is imperative that if you are drinking that you have a plan so as not to endanger yourself and others."

Haveson, a noted speaker and consultant has written the Party With A Plan book series (publisher -Blooming Twig Books ) after years of developing programs that deal with alcohol abuse on college campuses. His programs and books present a common sense approach to drinking. The programs developed by Haveson realize that "Just Say No" doesn't work for everyone.

Components of Party With A Plan are:
Who?
Who are you going out with? Who are you meeting later on?
What?
What are you planning to do? Do you have the details in mind before you leave your room?
Where?
Where are you going? Is it random or do you have a plan? Do others know the location in case they need to reach you?
When?
If you're planning to drink, do you know your limit? The majority of people who get in trouble with alcohol go over their limit.
Why?
Why are you drinking? Are you blowing off steam, looking to relax, or drinking to escape? Knowing why you're drinking can help you avoid trouble and additional problems.
How?
How are you getting home? Know this before you go out! Is your driver planning to drink? If so, make sure you have an alternate ride home.

From those components come his code that is as simple as 0-1-2-3 which aspects are:
