Fraser Health campaign warns Halloween partygoers of alcohol, overdose risks
VANCOUVER — The Fraser Health Authority is issuing a stern reminder to occasional drug users as weekend Halloween parties approach, urging them to reduce the risk of an accidental overdose.
The health authority has released a public service announcement reminding everyone to be safe when choosing to consume alcohol or drugs.
Drinkers are asked to make a plan to get home safely, set consumption limits and stick to them and to have one soft beverage for every alcoholic drink consumed.
Those expecting to use drugs are cautioned not to mix drugs, to use less if they are not familiar with the substance, to have a naloxone kit handy and to bring a sober buddy who can help if needed.
