How much have you taken already?

Alcohol and drugs can make you feel more confident and alcohol is the preferred date rape drug - it can distort your perceptions and judgement and makes you more vulnerable. But it doesn’t have to be that way...

  • Always leave your drink with someone you trust, don’t share drinks and never accept a drink from someone that you don’t know or have just met.
  • Plan how you’re going to get home. Don’t walk home alone or go back with someone you have just met - stay with friends or use a taxi.
  • Would you go alone into a stranger’s house at 11am in the morning? No? So why do it at 2am drunk?
  • Always make sure that someone knows where you are and when you’re expected back.

Keeping yourself safe is about being SMART.

Say no to any sex you don’t want;

Make yourself clearly understood;

Alcohol or drugs will affect your judgement;

Rape can stay with you for life;

Take care and reduce your risk of assault.
