At MiRound, we believe in promoting responsible drinking and fostering a safe and enjoyable drinking culture. We encourage our users to make informed decisions and prioritise their well-being while enjoying their time at the pub. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with our Responsible Drinking guidelines:
Understand your personal limits when it comes to alcohol consumption. Recognise how alcohol affects your body and mind and drink accordingly.
Pace yourself and avoid binge drinking. Set a comfortable pace that allows you to stay in control and enjoy the social experience without excessive intoxication.
Practice moderation by limiting the number of drinks you have in a given timeframe. Avoid feeling pressured to keep up with others and drink at a pace that suits you.
Consider alternating alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic options such as water, soft drinks, or mocktails to stay hydrated and maintain a balanced drinking experience.
Drink water or other non-alcoholic beverages alongside alcoholic drinks to stay hydrated. Alcohol can dehydrate your body, so it's crucial to replenish fluids.
Don't drink on an empty stomach. Eat a balanced meal or snack before or during drinking to help slow down alcohol absorption and minimise its effects.
Plan ahead and arrange for a designated driver if you know you'll be consuming alcohol. Choose someone who will stay sober and ensure a safe journey home.
If a designated driver isn't available, explore alternative transportation options such as public transportation, taxis, or rideshare services to reach your destination safely.
Be a responsible friend and look out for the well-being of those around you. If someone appears intoxicated or in need of help, offer assistance or seek support from pub staff or authorities.
Never let a friend drink and drive. Encourage them to make responsible choices or help them find a safe alternative for transportation.
Foster a respectful and inclusive atmosphere when enjoying drinks with friends. Treat others with kindness and respect, and be mindful of personal boundaries.
Avoid pressuring others to drink more than they want or making derogatory comments related to alcohol consumption. Everyone has the right to make their own choices.
Here are some agencies in the UK that provide resources and support for safe drinking:

Alcohol Change UK: Alcohol Change UK is a charity that works to reduce the harm caused by alcohol. Their website alcoholchange.org.uk provides resources, support, and information for individuals who want to make positive changes in their drinking habits.
By following these guidelines and utilising the resources provided by these agencies, you can enjoy alcohol in a mindful and responsible manner while building lasting memories with friends.
