HM Coastguard Cornwall has sent out a warning to Falmouth residents ahead of pubs reopening on Saturday 4th July.
A new campaign, named 'Don't Drink and Drown', has been created to make residents aware of the dangers of mixing alcohol and water.
A spokesperson for HM Coastguard Cornwall said:
"As we gear up to pubs opening this weekend, we want to get our #DontDrinkAndDrown message out around the UK to keep the public safe around water after consuming alcohol."
The coastguard has released some information to consider when drinking at the weekend:
* Alcohol and water don't mix – your judgement is impaired and you could make life-threatening decisions
- Cold water kills – the average temperature of UK water is a cold 11 degrees, about the same as a PINT of beer
- If you fall into the water, float to live
- Look after your friends, make sure they get home safe and avoid routes home around water
Remember if you get into difficulties or see someone else in trouble then call #999 and ask for the Coastguard.
