Drowning Prevention Charity, the Royal Life Saving Society’s (RLSS UK), Don’t Drink and Drown campaign is set to be launched this bank holiday weekend (April 30, 2016) warning Brighton’s drinkers to steer clear of walking by or entering water when under the influence of alcohol.
Brighton’s clubs and bars will be raising awareness this weekend with the support of RLSS UK, local police, Brighton and Hove City Council and Resolve Security as research shows that around a quarter of all adult drowning victims have alcohol in their bloodstream*.
Drinkers will be urged to act responsibly near water after they have been drinking and make sure they and their friends avoid walking home near bodies of water.
