When it comes to planning a night out on town, equip yourself with some party-safe tips.
Are you trying to get laid? I hope not.
The dressing code, you are what you wear.
Looking hot is great but there's a fine line between sexy and downright trashy.
Showing off your studded g-string is tasteless, so too are white lycra mini skirts that expose you under those ultra-violet lights.
Also, double-sided tape will not be able to carry through that barely-there top for the rest of the night.
When in doubt, don't wear it.
The safe bet will always be jeans.
They keep you trendy while still being functional enough for you to boogie the night away.
Body language is vital.
Do not dance too provocatively.
You're not in a Britney Spears MTV, so resist the temptation to shimmy up against a complete stranger.
If you throw yourself at a guy, don't expect not to be taken advantage of.
Don't get yourself lost in a sea of unknown faces-the more alone you seem, the higher the chance of being approached.
Giving off the wrong vibe can invite unwanted trouble from opportunists as 50% of communication is exuded non-verbally.
Getting spiked ! You may have read articles of date rape cases involving young adults like yourself.
Think it could never happen to you? Think again.

Never accept a drink from someone you don't trust.
That being said, do not leave your drinks unattended either.
If you need to leave the table for awhile, finish your drink or order a fresh one when you return.
Here are some pointers to make sure that you get home safe and sound

• Don't drink and drive.
  Neither should you get rides from people who are intoxicated
• If you're feeling disorientated, do not jump into a cab just yet.
  You never know what can happen in your drunken state.
  Instead, give yourself some time for the alcohol effects to wear off.
  
• Call a cab if you find yourself stranded in a quiet unfamiliar area.
  Also call your parents or trusted friends to inform them about your whereabouts.
  

Are you in the danger zone?

1. Do you share cabs with strangers heading home in the same direction?
2. Do you often leave your drinks with people you've only recently been introduced to?
3. Do you practise "less is more" when it comes to club wear?
4. Do you tend to leave your bag at the bar counter?
5. Do you share jugs of cocktails with a group of friends rather than order a single drink for yourself?

If you answered 'yes' to any of the questions above, you could stand a higher chance of being taken advantage of.
Always be on the alert and don't lose sight of your friends, especially if you're in an unfimilar environment If you have found this article useful, do visit girltipbits.
