I'm currently home in America, enjoying life's little luxuries and being very lazy as I recuperate from having my wisdom teeth removed. To keep you updated on life in Georgia, I thought I'd share this email my program just sent me. How many jobs feel the need to warn you about alcohol poisoning "on the job"? Also, the title is from the title of the email.
Dear volunteers,
First of all we wish you happy holidays!
We
hope you all have the chance to attend Georgian New Year "Supras" which
really are one of the most exceptional experiences you can have in
Georgia. And of course, what is a Georgian Supra without copious
toasts?
As
you already know, Georgian alcohol is quite strong and people are quite
hospitable, especially when it comes to drinking. While you celebrate
the holiday season, remember that drinking large quantities of alcohol
can cause serious problem like alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is a
serious — and sometimes deadly — consequence of drinking large amounts
of alcohol in a short period of time.
Do not forget about your health and safety and about representing our project.
We also want to remind you that your TLG-provided Insurance does not cover accidents caused by and/or somehow related to alcohol.
Have safe and fun Holidays and we wish you a prosperous New Year!!!
Thank You for Making a Difference…
Best,
TLG Team
