Whether you spend St. Patrick’s Day celebrating or not, you will want to always remember that some celebrations can become quite rowdy at times. Even the most innocent events like parades or parties can escalate into raucous affairs on St. Patrick’s Day- especially if alcohol is involved.
Here are some tips to help keep your St. Patrick’s Day safe:
- Be extra cautious on the roads. Even if you skip the green beer or Irish whiskey this St. Patrick’s Day, you can be sure there will be drivers who are not as wise out there. It is important to be aware of your surroundings when you are behind the wheel. Steer clear of anyone who is driving erratically and report vehicles that are swerving. It goes without saying that you should not get behind the wheel if you have been drinking. Have a designated driver get you to and from your destinations.
- Know your surroundings. If you are in a crowded place, note possible exits when you get there and be sure to always keep your belongings close to you. The buddy system is a good one to adopt in large crowds. Keep an eye on your buddy at all times so you both can remain safe.
- Check your insurance. If you get home and find that your purse or wallet has been lost or stolen in your travels, do you have the right insurance to cover the loss? If your St. Patrick’s Day guests fall and hurt themselves at your home during your own party, do you have adequate insurance to cover a claim?
