Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pace your drinking to avoid burnout during long contracts.

✓Be aware of the 0.05 alcohol limit to avoid being fired during random breathalyzer tests.

✓Listen to your body and go to bed when tired rather than feeling pressured to socialize at the crew bar.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Social pressure to fit in — Understand that the urge to fit in is a survival instinct in an alien environment, but prioritize your health and job over social inclusion.

Fear of being seen as a loser for not drinking — If people make you feel guilty for not drinking, they are likely doing it because they shouldn't be drinking either.
