Nights Out

• Try to eat something before you go out. You can consume more alcohol before feeling the effects and it also keeps your body reinforced with vitamins and minerals.
• Drink water regularly to rehydrate yourself. Failing that, have a number of soft drinks. Don't feel the need to have alcohol every time.
• Stay in a group. During Freshers Week try to remain as much as possible with the official events. Try to keep with friends and people you can trust.
• Don't accept drinks from strangers and keep an eye on yours (and that goes for guys as well). If you do accidentally leave your drink alone, go and buy a fresh one.
• Always walk home in a crowd, or catch a taxi home. Many cities will have late night buses, especially at the weekend, and some universities put on special buses during fresher's week. If you are recognise students in a taxi rank, don't be shy in asking if they want to share a taxi back to halls with you.
• Have your keys ready before you reach your door, in order to make sure that you can let yourself straight into your building. Make sure the door locks behind you.
