Drink safe 

Drinking for many students becomes a big part of their experience at university. We don’t want to stop your fun, we just want you to be safe, so remember these top tips.

- Make sure you eat something first to line your stomach – eating is defiantly NOT cheating!
- Keep a close eye on your drink, and be very aware of anyone potentially spiking your drink
- Drink plenty of water and soft drinks in between alcohol to avoid dehydrating
- Keep fit and healthy. The average fresher gains 14 pounds of weight due to excessive drinking, ekkkk!
- Drink at least a pint of water before going to bed to make sure you don’t miss that 9AM lecture, or wake up with a killer hangover!

100 young people are admitted to hospital for alcohol related diseases EVERY day! Don’t become one of them.

You will have some the best times of your life in SU venues but make sure you keep safe. A few tips to make sure you stay safe and enjoy your night.
