Breathalyser tests are being offered in pubs and bars in two
Leicestershire towns from Monday.
Customers in Coalville and Ashby will be offered breathalyser tests and alcohol calculators during national Alcohol Awareness Week.
North West Leicestershire District Council's Licensing Team is working with Leicestershire Police and Pub Watch groups in the towns to promote responsible drinking and raise awareness of the dangers of alcohol abuse.
Breathalyser trials will be set up so customers can test their intoxication levels and alcohol calculators mean people can easily check the units of alcohol they're consuming.
The council's night time economy officer also will be on hand throughout the week to give health advice to young people, and police officers will visit licensed premises to offer advice.
Inspector Helena Bhakta, North West Leicestershire police commander, said: "This event is run each year to raise awareness of the dangers of abuse of alcohol."
Councillor Alison Smith, deputy leader and portfolio holder for community services at North West Leicestershire District Council, added: "We want to make sure alcohol doesn't have a negative impact on our communities, especially young people, and want to make sure our towns and villages are safe places to enjoy at night."
Marie Kelleher of the Bulls Head and from Ashby Pub Watch, said: "It is very important to have a vibrant, varied, night time economy, where people feel safe."
