On New Year&#8217;s Eve, it&#8217;s all about finding the right balance. If someone&#8217;s had too much to drink, it might be easier to chat with their friends instead. They can help calm them down or switch them to water or juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone drunk starts causing trouble or making you feel unsafe, get your security team to help. Keeping it friendly but firm is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, no one wants to be stuck outside while their friends are partying inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1313\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/get-daily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Guide-to-be-a-Top-Door-Supervisor-this-New-Year.jpg\" alt=\"Communication with your fellow door supervisors is crucial. \" class=\"wp-image-42608\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being a Responsible Door Supervisor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of responsibility, a great New Year&#8217;s resolution is to help out those who&#8217;ve had too much to drink.
