Revellers in Newark were being breathalysed last night in a police bid to clamp down on alcohol related violent crime.
Beathalysers were on the doors of pubs and clubs on Saturday September 20 as the force urged party-goers: "don't drink so much that you're not in control."
The initiative is part of the Ending Alcohol Harm campaign which was set up to end the damage caused by excessive drinking as well as looking at the health, financial, social and criminal implications of doing so and offering people a place to get help.
The campaign is coordinated by the Nottingham Crime and Drug Partnership and builds on the force's Alliance Against Violence campaign which was launched last October.
Work to date has involved representatives from Nottingham's universities, the police and licensing department, My Nottingham, Community Protection and alcohol service providers..
Driven by Nottingham's status as a Local Alcohol Action Area, a section of the work will be delivered in partnership with Drinkaware, the national alcohol charity.
