🍻 Keep It Steady

A good night is one you remember for the right reasons:

Pace yourself and mix in water

Take your time — no need to rush

Know your limits and stick to them

🧡 Stick Together

Looking after each other makes all the difference:

Stay with your group where you can

Check in on your mates

If something doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct

If you need help:

Speak to bar staff or Taxi Marshals

Use a Safe Haven

Ask for “Angela” for discreet support

🚨 If things start to go the wrong way, walking away is always the right choice.

🥤 Watch Your Drink

Simple steps can prevent problems:

Keep your drink with you at all times

Only accept drinks you’ve seen prepared

If unsure — don’t risk it, get a fresh one

🌙 Get Home Safely

End the night on a positive note:

Plan your journey before you head out

Use licensed taxis or trusted transport

Stay on well-lit, busy routes

Make sure your phone is charged
