"Wear nice pants" - police tell women drinkers
 

LONDON (Reuters) - Women going on boozy nights out
have been warned by police to "wear nice pants" in
case they fall down drunk in the street.

A Suffolk police safety campaign magazine shows
pictures of young women slumped on the ground next to
messages urging them: "If you've got it, don't flaunt
it."

"If you fall over or pass out, remember your skirt or
dress may ride up," the magazine says. "You could show
off more than you intended -- for all our sakes,
please make sure you're wearing nice pants and that
you've recently had a wax."

Readers are also told to stick with friends, book a
taxi home and watch the amount they drink.

Police said the Safe! magazine's gossipy,
tongue-in-cheek style was designed to alert young
women to the dangers they could face if they get drunk
during a night out.

"We need to raise their awareness of potential
problems," said Chief Superintendent David McDonnell.
"They become more vulnerable whilst under the
influence of alcohol."

Must be a chick thing.

We blokes are immune to these problems, except maybe the scots.

I always make sure to have nice pants on when I'm out on a bender.



As for the wax...well, that usually happens some time in the course of the evening. :D

Of course, you might want to wear "fly-free shorts." Just for safety mind you. You just never know.
