Drink Spiking - Keeping Safe

Keep yourself safe when socialising by:

• Never leaving your drink unattended, whether it is alcoholic or not

• Never accept a drink from someone you don’t know

• Don’t drink or taste anyone else’s drink

• Throw your drink away or take it back to the bar if it tastes strange or different

• Avoid drinking or taking substances which impact upon your safety and wellbeing

• Always stick together with friends and look out for each other, even when within smaller social gatherings. If you are leaving a venue early or going home alone make sure you let your friends know and have a plan for getting home safely
