🎄Drink responsibly - you could become injured from falling or generally feel ill from over-drinking.
🎄Plan ahead - Think about how you're going to get home before you venture out.
Going to hospital via ambulance will not mean you’re seen any quicker when you get there, but could mean an ambulance isn’t available for someone who needs our life-saving care.
