1. NO ALCOHOL!
     Yes, I repeat myself: Alcohol and GHB potentiate^* each other's effects [46], which makes the threat of respiratory arrest a deadly reality. Even small quantities can be hazardous. If I could impart but a single piece of advice through this FAQ, it would unquestionably be to leave this fell combination alone. Anything else that causes drowsiness or loss of physical control should also be avoided.

2. Bring a friend
      Falling asleep in public is very, very bad. More than one person has suggested a "GHB-alert" bracelet that would tell passersby "let me sleep!" but the best way to avoid danger is to have someone on hand who can take care of you.

3. Know your source
      Make sure the GHB is pure, and know the concentration so you get the proper dose. Essentially, this means never buying "street" GHB unless you know the dealer and are experienced with hir product. To buy or make your own, see the Supply FAQ

4. Know your dose
      Useful and excessive doses can differ by very little.

5. Don't be stupid
     You should no more drive under GHB's influence than under significant quantities of alcohol. If you're dancing, get adequate fluids and rest. Be aware that your judgment is somewhat clouded. The strange man asking you to follow him is probably not your long-lost uncle Earl.
