Nanango police will be holding a Drink Rite event at the Nanango RSL on Thursday, November 8, from 5:00pm-8:00pm.
Drink Rite is a Queensland Police Service program that aims to promote a responsible attitude towards drink-driving and alcohol consumption.
It promotes a simple message – if you plan to drink alcohol, don’t drive!
The Nanango Drink Rite event will involve a standard drinks presentation where participants and audience members will have the opportunity to drink alcohol and be breathtested by the police.
A police spokesman said police would discuss the results of the participants, breath alcohol concentration testing and provide information on alcohol consumption, standard drinks and drink-driving.
The event is free, and participants only need pay for the alcohol they drink.
Those participating can consume different types of alcoholic drinks and they will be breath tested to determine the safe level for them.
Constable Kenita Avery, from Nanango police, said participants would gain a lot from the event.
“People will gain an increased knowledge about the effects of alcohol on the body,” she said.
Constable Avery said the evening would also include presentations from different community groups.
