Product Information

Best Bar None - a national award scheme, supported by the Home Office, that aims to improve standards in local night-time economies by sharing and promoting best practice. It depends on what you're drinking as to how easy this is, but if you can, always opt for a bottle rather than a glass. You can easily keep your thumb over the top to stop someone from slipping something in. If you are drinking from a glass, you can hold it from the top rather than the side. Governments have taken many measures to help stop drink spiking, such as increasing awareness of the crime and increasing punishments for it. The public also has become more aware of drink spiking and is becoming more cautious about leaving their drinks unattended.

You can also buy devices, like these bottle stoppers, which secure the top of bottles so you don't even have to think about it. Some bars, particularly student unions, even provide them for free – just ask the bar staff.The Local Government Association, which represents councils across England and Wales, and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners are urging young people to learn about the dangers of spiking and take precautions to stay safe, ahead of the new university term. For instance, you might have to move away from your drinks to reach the card machine to pay up. If you're with a mate, they can act as an extra set of eyes and guard your drinks when you're doing something else. No matter how skint you are, minesweeping (drinking the half-full glasses people have left behind) is never worth it. It might be cheap, but there are plenty of safer ways to save money. If you drink something dodgy, you could end up in a pretty bad way. The Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement (WAVE) initiative - developed by the Metropolitan Police, WAVE is a free tool that aims to increase the skills and knowledge of those working in licensed premises to identify vulnerability and make appropriate interventions to keep people safe.

Ask for Angela’ - this initiative advises customers through posters in venue toilets that, if they ‘ask for Angela’ at the bar, staff will be alerted to the fact that the person feels unsafe or threatened. Staff will know that the individual needs support to leave their situation, and can call them a taxi, escort them to their car or call the police, for example. run a communications campaign to clearly demonstrate that your council takes a zero-tolerance approach to sexual harassment and spiking. The coasters can be stored in a wallet or purse, and do not interact directly with a drink, which means the product did not require U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
