Campaigners warn of drowning danger while out drinking

Campaigners across the South West are urging people to steer clear of open water while out drinking this Christmas.

The Royal Life Saving Society has found that a quarter of all adults who drown have alcohol in their bloodstream.

Paige Winsper from Penryn in Cornwall lost her brother Josh last year.

He was a fisherman who drowned after a night out with his crewmates.

Paige says people need to change the way they think about drinking.

In Bristol, floating nightclub Thekla has joined a campaign to warn people of drowning after drinking this Christmas.

The Royal Life Saving Society are leading the project which urges people to avoid walking near water after a night out.

14 people have drowned in the city in the past six years.
