Coastguard called out to help two intoxicated people in Blackpool
The Lytham coastguard is warning people not to go swimming after you've had a few drinks.
The warning comes after two people, believed to be drunk, had to be saved by RNLI Blackpool this morning after getting into difficulty in the water.
In a post Lytham Coastguard said:
"We were called out at 7.27 this morning to reports of a person in the water around the Central Pier area, possibly in difficulty.
"We arrived on scene and established there were 2 intoxicated people in the water, RNLI Blackpool launched one lifeboat to assist the casualtys, after talking with them, they eventually made their way out of the water and were passed into the care of Blackpool Police & North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
"Stay clear of the water if you've had a drink! The sea and alcohol do not mix!"
