Despite this, drunkenness is a common feature of nightlife settings while public awareness of the law and bar server compliance with it appears to be low (Hughes and Anderson, 2008). A study conducted in Liverpool found that 84% of alcohol purchase attempts by pseudo-intoxicated actors in pubs, bars and nightclubs were successful (Hughes et al., 2014). Thus to address the sale of alcohol to drunks in the city's nightlife, Liverpool City Council and Merseyside Police developed and implemented the Say No To Drunks pilot intervention. The intervention aimed to: increase awareness of legislation preventing sales of alcohol to drunks; support bar staff compliance with the law; provide a strong deterrence to selling alcohol to drunks; and promote responsible drinking amongst nightlife users. It included: a social marketing and public awareness raising campaign; bar staff training; police enforcement; and the provision of breathalysers to door supervisors to support entry refusal. An evaluation was undertaken to inform the development of the pilot intervention and provide a baseline for evaluating future work. A range of methods were used including surveys with nightlife patrons, door supervisors and bar staff, nightlife area observations, and analyses of secondary data sources (e.g. police-recorded crime data).

Author: Quigg, Zara Title: Evaluation of the South Wales Know the Score Intervention Summary: Excessive alcohol consumption, drunkenness and associated harms are a common feature of nightlife settings in the UK (Bellis and Hughes, 2011; Graham et al., 2013). Whilst the sale of alcohol to people who are drunk is illegal under UK law, public awareness of this legislation and bar server compliance with it appears to be low (Hughes and Anderson, 2008; Hughes et al., 2014). While this law is often broken and few convictions for the service of alcohol to drunks are successful (HM Government, 2012), licensed premises have a clear legal and social responsibility to prevent such sales. Previous studies have shown that reductions in the service of alcohol to drunks, and associated harms, can be achieved through the implementation of multi‐agency interventions which promote awareness and increase enforcement of the legislation. Thus, to address the sale of alcohol to drunks, the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales and South Wales Police developed and implemented the Know the Score #drinklessenjoymore pilot intervention. The intervention aimed to increase bar staff and public awareness of the law and promote responsible drinking behaviours in nightlife environments. It included: a social marketing campaign; radio broadcasts; intervention materials promoting the campaign (e.g. posters, bar server t‐ shirts); enhanced police enforcement; and promotion of the intervention materials by the Welsh Rugby Union and other partner agencies. To inform the development of the pilot intervention and provide a baseline for monitoring progress of future work, an evaluation was undertaken which comprised of pre‐ and post‐intervention surveys with nightlife patrons in Cardiff and Swansea City Centres.
