Young men and women admit to putting themselves at risk from serious injury by drinking too much on a night out, according to a new survey.
People in the 18-24 age group are ignoring serious consequences of too much alcohol, according to a YouGov survey of more than 4,500 people.
One in four (26%) 18-24-year-old women feel they have put their own safety at risk by walking home on their own in the dark after a night out.
For men, the risk of injury from not knowing their limits is evident - one in five (21%) 18-24-year-old males say they have injured themselves by acting recklessly after drinking.
Government statistics reveal that eight out of 10 pedestrian deaths on Friday and Saturday nights are drink-related.
The survey also reveals that one in five 18-24-year-olds admit they have cheated on their partner in the last year when under the influence of alcohol.
Suzie Hayman, counsellor and agony aunt, said: "After a few drinks on a night out you can feel like you're totally indestructible and invincible.
"But actually, you're putting yourself at all kinds of risk. Alcohol messes with your senses, leaving you more vulnerable to having an accident or being attacked.
"Nobody wants to end up in A&E, so take it a little easier and you won't ruin your night, or your life."
Further findings from the survey showed that nearly half (45%) of the 18-24-year-old men confess they have been unable to remember all of their actions the morning after the night before.
