#BeAMate Don’t Drink and Drown

In the last six years, 46% of accidental drownings of those aged between 18-25 involve alcohol and/or drugs. Many of them drowned because they walked home alone and fell into the water. 

Don’t Drink and Drown is the Royal Life Saving Society UK’s national campaign that encourages smart decision making after drinking alcohol around water. Remember to:

  • Look out for your friends, make sure they get home safely 
  • If you’ve had a drink, stay away from the water 
  • Find an alternative route home, don’t walk home near the water 
  • Stay away from the water in winter, cold water shock kills.
