Avoid getting stung with the 2012 Holiday Survival Guide

If you're heading away on holidays with the lads this year then you better check out drinkaware.ie's new Holiday Survival Guide. It could save your life, or your dignity at the very least.

There’s nothing like a trip to the sun with a group of mates, especially when it’s just the lads – at least you don’t have to hold back with any gaseous movements, if you catch our drift. However, there’s always the one lad in the group who forgets something like a hat, or sunscreen or his hard to come by lifesaving medication. You know the guy.

Anyway, the best way to avoid any holiday mishaps this summer is to download the free Holiday Survival Guide over on drinkaware.ie before you head off like a naïve foreigner in an unknown land. Although, that’s probably exactly what you’ll be.

So what’s in this Survival Guide that could end up saving you time and hassle when you get over to your destination? Well, fist off there’s a handy checklist that reminds you of the small things that we sometimes forget to bring along, such as a socket adapter and insect repellent.

The new and improved Holiday Survival Guide 2012

The Survival Guide also includes essential advice on how to stay safe in the sun from DocMorris Pharmacy and there’s also other important travel information from the Department of Foreign Affairs on visas, passports and what your local Irish embassy can do should you find yourself in need of assistance. Basically, all the stuff that mammy used to worry about.

Dotted throughout the guide are top backpacking tips from the Tropical Medical Bureau, as well as practical advice from drinkaware.ie to help travellers have a fun but safe holiday.

There really is everything that a single (or escaped) bloke could ever need in the guide for when you’re travelling abroad with the boys. But the guide isn’t just about being safe when it comes to booze. It covers practically everything from playing it safe when it comes to sex and how you shouldn't mess around with the local animals  - they’re two different topics by the way.

As if reminding you of what to bring and how to stay safe while abroad wasn’t enough, the Holiday Survival Guide also has two deadly prizes to give away including a trip for two to Thailand, so make sure to have a flick through the guide to find them.

So, if you and your mates are heading away for the sun, sand and beautiful ladies this summer make sure to download the free Holiday Survival Guide over on drinkaware.ie now.
