Safety Tips For Your Next Pub Crawl

By Ilechukwu Magnus


Are you starting to consider going on a pub crawl in New Zealand? If you are visiting the country on business, for pleasure, are studying abroad, or you have lived here all your life, this country's many cities can provide you with a variety of options in entertainment. Finding the best locations to visit, however, is not always easy.

This is where you will need a pub crawl. This is an activity that will give you the opportunity to explore the night life in the city without doing any research on you own. The guided tour will ensure that you only visit different local hotspots and experience the best that New Zealand has to offer.

Now are you interested? Before signing on the next available pub in the city, there is one important factor you must also consider and that is your safety. While many crawls have safety procedures put in place to ensure that their participants are totally safe, you should also do everything possible to ensure that you are safe. Here are the tips that will help you know what to do.

Safety Tips For Bar Crawls

Drink Water- You may have heard this a hundred times but it is necessary it sticks with your head. Ensure to drink enough water. This will make sure that you are hydrated throughout the night and thus make you safer. Drinking water instead of an alcoholic beverage during the crawl can also help you enjoy your night more. With enough water in your system, you can turn a sprint into a marathon that can last all night.

Proper Identification- Whenever you are in a new city or perhaps a new country, it is necessary that you have a sort of identification on you. Consider bringing along your driver's license or a copy of your passport to the pub crawls tours. It is not really necessary to bring your real passport because you may get stuck in the city longer than you anticipated if it eventually gets lost. It is also a nice idea to write down the name of your hotel or hostel, your phone number and that of someone who can be contacted in any emergency. You can duplicate this on a card and put them in your shoe or back pocket where they can easily get lost. To this end, it won't be difficult to gather directions if something happens during or after the crawl or if you can't find your way home.

Eat Something- If you want to last the entire night, don't go on the pub crawl with an empty stomach. By eating enough before a pub, your stomach can hold you throughout the night and you will even have the power to play and win at one of the crawls games.

Go Together- Being in a new city by yourself can be dangerous. To this end, you are not expected to leave your group when on a crawl.

Use a Cab- You shouldn't drive after drinking. Find a cab to drop you off where the bar crawls group is supposed to meet. To this end, you can always have someone to drive you home when the crawl is over.

It doesn't matter the reason you want to experience New Zealand's night life, but paying attention to elements of your safety is of utmost importance.
