How to Reduce the Risk of Spiking

Everyone should feel safe to enjoy themselves without worrying about being spiked. However, there are steps you can take to help reduce the risk of spiking while keeping yourself and others safe.

Stay Vigilant with Your Drink

Never leave your drink unattended, whether it’s alcoholic or not. If you need to leave your drink for any reason, take it with you or finish it before leaving.

Be Cautious When Accepting Drinks

Be cautious if you are bought or given a drink. Consider only accepting drinks from people you know and trust. Avoid drinking too much by sticking to the UK low-risk drinking guidelines.

Look After Your Friends

Stick together with friends and look out for each other. Watch out for your friends and make sure they are safe.

Respond to Suspicious Activity

Be wary if people are reaching over your drinks or if you see anyone acting suspiciously around your or someone else's drink. Alert staff immediately if you notice anything unusual.

Seek Help if You Feel Unwell

If you or a friend feel unwell, seek help from staff or call an ambulance immediately. Don’t wait or assume the symptoms will pass on their own.
