Behaviour BEHAVIOUR OF PATRONS 
 1) Self‐reported behaviour of drinkers 
 For the experimental area the authors report that there was 'no significant change in attendance at 'safer' parties (i.e. those that adhered to the tips) between those who had heard of the intervention and others who had not'. 
 a) Provision of food; chi‐squared=2.543, df=3, P=0.4675. 
 b) Provision of alternative drinks; chi‐squared=0.823, df=3, P=0.844. 
 c) Reduction in service to intoxication; chi‐squared=5.844, df=3, P=0.1194. 
 d) Provision of transport; chi‐squared = 4.811, df=3, P=0.1862. 
 In the control area is it reported that there was no significant pre‐post difference, however no quantitative data were reported.
Knowledge DRINKERS' KNOWLEDGE 
 In the experimental area there was no significant community‐wide change in safe partying knowledge resulting from the campaign; chi2=2.254, df=5, P=0.813. No significant pre‐post difference found in the control area, no other quantitative data reported.

Behaviour BEHAVIOUR OF PATRONS 
 1) Median BAC(mg%) 
 This was 0.030 in both the experimental and control groups (P=0.415). 
 2) Percentage of patrons with a BAC>0.10 
 This was 17.5% and 20.0% in the experimental and control groups respectively (P=0.509). 
 3) Percentage of patrons with a BAC>0.15 
 This was 7.5% and 7.8% in the experimental and control groups respectively (P=1.000). 
 SELF‐REPORTED ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION 
 1) This was significantly less in the experimental group (38g) than the control (47g) with P=0.01. 
 2) Percentage of patrons with a measured BAC>0.05% who intended to drive 
 This was 6.8% in experimental and 7.8% in the control group (P=0.635).
