When you are out

The effects of alcohol make you vulnerable- whether its your own personal safety or your belongings. Be aware at all times and follow the tips below:

Your safety

• never leave your drink unattended
• choose a Best Bar None accredited pub, bar or club as these venues have been vetted by the authorities - look out for the Best Bar None logo
• keep away from people and situations you feel uncomfortable with
• never accept a drink from anyone you do not completetly trust

Your belongings

• keep your bag zipped up and make sure your wallet or purse can't be seen
• spread your possessions about - for example, keep your mobile separate from your wallet and money
• handbags, wallets and mobiles are commonly stolen in pubs - always keep your valuables secure
