It is essential to learn a few things before you head out to a pub to keep yourself safe. Here are a few things you should know if you are planning to visit a pub with friends or even alone.
- Don't leave your drink unattended: Once you are in a pub, make sure you have your drink in your hand almost all the time. It is common for people with wrong intentions to lurk inside pubs and find people who are careless with their drinks; they can easily drug your drink and take advantage of you. Date rape is not a thing of movies, it happens in real life as well!. Be careful with your drinks at all times. Don't let others offer your drinks or order for you.

- Keep your keys in your hand: If you are alone and walking to the parking lot, have your key in your hand, it is safer as you won't too much time in a dark parking lot fishing for your keys in your purse and giving chance to people to attack you while you are distracted. Get in the car as fast as you can and lock the doors immediately.
- Buy pepper spray: It may sound unnecessary, but a having a pepper spray with you is a good idea. It is a great tool to defend yourself in case someone tries to attack you.
- Keep the exists in mind: As soon as you enter a pub make note of the exits, it will not only save you from running away from criminals but you will be able to get out of the place in case of emergencies. There have been incidents where a fire broke out and people couldn't get out as they were not aware of the exists.
- Be observant: Don't let your guard down ever even if you are with friends. It is always safer to be observant and aware of the people around you.

Always Keep Your Phone with You!
It is good to have your phone within reach, but we suggest you don't stay on the phone for too long, especially when you are texting. The phone tends to distract you, and you may drop your guard. Have an emergency number in your dialing list and always tell a friend or a family member about where you will be.
