Drink Rite is a Queensland Police Service program that aims to promote a responsible attitude towards alcohol consumption and drink driving. It involves participation in practical demonstrations on standard drinks followed by an opportunity for a number of participants to consume alcohol and be breath tested by a police officer.
Senior Constable Donna Burley from Carseldine Crime Prevention is looking for at least 5 more people to participate in a Drink Rite event at the Bonny View Tavern on Tuesday 11th December from 6pm to 8pm.
At this stage you will have to pay for the drinks you consume however there is a possibility that the Tavern may provide the alcohol.
If you are interested but would like more information we can email you a brochure with details of the Drink Rite program – just send us an email at carseldine6NHW@gmail.com
If you would like to volunteer for this Drink Rite event, please contact Senior Constable Donna Burley at Carseldine Crime Prevention on Tel 3863 5114 or email Burley.DonnaL@police.qld.gov.au.
Drink Rite provides an opportunity to discuss the large range of factors that contribute to alcohol concentrations (including the differences between readings for men and women) to reinforce the message that attempting to estimate your breath alcohol concentration level is difficult and not recommended. Drink Rite also promotes the benefits of counting your drinks and drinking low versus high alcohol beverages.
At the conclusion of the Drink Rite event both participants and the audience should have an increased awareness of the link between the consumption of alcohol of different strengths and breath alcohol concentration, what constitutes a standard drink, how to use standard drinks to monitor your alcohol consumption, the range of factors that affect an individual's breath alcohol concentration and the links between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harms, including violence and road crashes.
