Warning over bank holiday drinking

The police often see an increase in drink related antisocial behaviour and violence particularly if the weather is good.

It is important that people eat before they go out to reduce the effects of alcohol and drink regularly during the evening. Don’t try to keep up with friends who drink more and always walk away from trouble.
