Carry some extra money and don't spend it on that last WKD.
Arrange a taxi before you head out then you know you will make it home. Do it with your mates and reduce the cost.
Don’t get in a car with someone who has been drinking, no matter what they say. You are putting your life at risk.
Always have a designated driver if you can't use a taxi. That way you know you can all get home safe.
Everyone should carry a condom and use it wisely (girls and boys).
Pace yourself; no one looks good if they are throwing up on a street corner.
Have an alcohol free night. I bet you feel better in the morning.
Eating isn't cheating! Have some food before you drink, it will slow the absorption of alcohol!
Tell the bar attendant when to stop serving you- last orders please sir.
Never mix drugs and alcohol; it's very dangerous.
Know your limits when having a drink, Drink too much and you might do something you regret.
Watch out for those beer goggles, you will regret it in the morning!
Have a night off and catch up on the TV instead.
Be aware of what you’re drinking and what it contains.
You should decide how much you drink not anyone else. Don’t be a sheep.
Mixing drinks can be a risky business. You will more than likely end up puking in a bush with a killer hangover in the morning.
Put the In Case of Emergency (ICE) number in your phone - this is the number of someone you trust. If something happens the emergency services know to call that number first.
Carry some extra money in the back of your purse/ wallet, just in case.
Only get in a registered taxi on your own if you really need to, if you do make sure your friends know where you're heading. Try to go with friends if you can.
Know your own limits and stick to them.
Stick with your friends and look after the one who drinks a bit more than they can handle.
If someone offers to buy you a drink, go to the bar with them to get it. Never accept a drink that's already open or poured, you just don't know what is in it!
Have the confidence to say ‘No’.
Charge your phone before a night out. It's handy when saving that hot guys number and you may also need it to call a taxi or anyone else in case of an emergency.
Drinking water through the drinking session will help with your hangover and prevent you from getting drunk to quickly.
Always wear a condom. Is it really a good night if you get an STI or become pregnant!
