Stick Together – While You’re There:
- Keep an eye on your group. Check in with each other throughout the night to make sure everyone is feeling good and having fun.
- Always get your own drink and keep an eye on it at all times.
- Never leave a drink unattended.
- Be an Active Bystander.
Leave Together – When the Party is Over:
- Never leave a member of your group behind. Remember: No “buddy” left behind.
- Don’t let an intoxicated friend go home with a stranger. If you wouldn’t let your friend drive drunk, don’t let them leave with a stranger drunk.
- Check in to make sure everyone got home safe. If you can’t reach one of your group members, get help.
- If someone at the party/bar/club behaved in a way that made you or others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, talk about it. Support others who bring up these issues.
