If a drink left your sight, get a new one
In one line
Don’t take candy, snacks, or a vape from a stranger. If your glass left your sight, don’t finish it. Get another.
What it costs
Free. You only decline what is handed to you.
What you get
A normal-looking vape or drink can carry something else. The Chinese detention terms and fines in the source book were removed. The habit that remains: don’t take it, and replace a drink that left your sight.

Face droops, one arm fails, speech slurs. Call now
Ask for a smile, both arms up, and a short sentence. If any of that fails, call 119 in Japan or 911 in the U.S. Don’t drive them yourself.
