The Gauteng Department of Community Safety has urged the public not to over-indulge if they don’t want to be in trouble with the law.
“From a safety perspective, we also want to dissuade our people from excessive drinking particularly when they go to places of entertainment because this is where we tend to experience incidents of fighting – with some of them resulting in murder cases as well as assault resulting in grievous bodily harm cases.”
“As the department, we have always raised the concern about incidents of gender-based violence and it is around this time, due to excessive drinking, that we tend to experience that people committing these types of crimes. We want our people to be safe, the festive season is still far from over and we don’t want to experience more incidents on our roads, sexual assaults and incidents where people are fighting.
Health professionals have also warned about the serious health implications of binge drinking. Dr Nelisiwe Sibisi says excessive alcohol consumption has a detrimental effect on the body. “Binge drinking is quite problematic as it introduces your body to high levels of alcohol very quickly and once that happens, it generally overwhelms the body. It is not able to process the amount of alcohol that comes into the system affects the central nervous system, it also affects your sense of judgement, your ability to take care of yourself, your ability to perceive danger and those are the huge problems.
