Safety Tips: We share this information to try to reduce risks and enhance community safety, with no intent to blame victims/survivors. The individuals who cause harm are the only ones responsible.
- If you feel more intoxicated/drunk than you think you should be, tell someone you trust and get help immediately.
- Do not accept drinks from people you don’t know.
- If someone offers to buy/get you a drink, go with them. Watch the drink being poured and carry it yourself.
- Beware of drinks from common sources like punch bowls or containers that you did not open yourself.
- Open your drink yourself and don’t leave it unattended.
- If a drink tastes or smells unusual, stop drinking it and pour it out.
- Watch out for each other—look out for your friends and ask them to look out for you.
- Get support even if you can’t remember exactly what happened.
