can be a catalyst for, and can exacerbate,
unruly behavior and hooliganism, and also be the cause of severe life threatening
incidents that will require specialist medical attention.
Alcohol intoxication and illicit drug use
Is an intoxicating substance often mistaken as a stimulant drug.
Alcohol
creates many of the problems experienced at
festivals such as lacerations and cuts to people treading or falling on broken glass,
antisocial, argumentative and aggressive behavior, sexual assaults, urinating in

Selling and serving alcohol responsibly
* Implementing strategies to assist guests to drink responsibly
* Monitoring guests for intoxication
* Refusing to serve alcohol to intoxicated guests

to drink water or non-alcoholic beverages and leave the event in an orderly
manner.
Time
The area should be free from as many risks as possible, including bodies of water
and major roads, which can increase the risk of injury to guests who are drinking
alcohol.
Designated Area

identification and who meet responsible service of alcohol requirements at
separate wrist banding outlets.

a popular method for consumers to test
themselves at the source of alcohol consumption.
Public breathalyzers
they estimate blood alcohol
content indirectly by measuring the amount of alcohol in the breath
Breath analyzers
generally use infrared spectrophotometer technology,
electrochemical fuel cell technology, or a combination of two.
Desktop analyzers
are generally based on electrochemical fuel cell
analysis.
Hand-held field testing devices
Generally, when mixed

nausea to heart failure.
