This is just one of the tactics Operation Mistletoe which is launched today is taking to tackle anti-social behaviour over the festive period in Denbighshire.

The multi-agency campaign is being launched in St Asaph Business Park by members of the Conwy and Denbighshire Community Safety Partnership, representatives of the emergency services and licensed premises members.

"There were 114 people arrested in alcohol related incidents, as well as wishing them and their family seasonal greetings and best wishes, we also ask them to consider the consequences of their behaviour on others, those that are directly affected by their irresponsibility, and those that have to clean up their mess," said Roly Schwarz on behalf of the Conwy and Denbighshire Community Safety Partnership.

The campaign's message this year is 'Getting drunk doesn't just put you and your family at risk, someone has to clean up your mess.'

The public will be targeted with members of the emergency services and the council appearing in an advertising campaign giving their reason why people should stay in control when out drinking.

The poster and radio adverts see a Fire and Rescue officer warn, 'cooking while drunk puts me and my family at risk' while a street cleaner operative says 'broken bottles, blood, urine and vomit put me and my family at risk.'

Other action being taken across the county to ensure people can enjoy a safe Christmas and New Year includes:

- Extra policing deployed in busy town centres, and police horses in Denbigh. Extra security will be provided at busy times at Glan Clwyd Hospital.

- Local authority enforcement officers working on key dates to ensure licensing regulations and conditions are being adhered to, and licensed premises are managing customers to ensure that excessive drinking and drunkenness are restricted.

"As always the success of the campaign is dependant on the support of licensed premises operators and their staff," added Mr Schwartz.

"Last year, their contribution towards making our town centres and resort venues safe and welcoming was significant. We are pleased to have their support this year."

This comes in the same week as North Wales Police begin their crackdown on drink driving, meaning thousands of motorist face being stopped in random road checks.

In partnership with the Welsh Assembly the Christmas message to drivers is robust action will be taken if they are caught drinking and driving.

19,554 drivers were breathalysed on the roads of Wales during the 2007 Christmas Drink Drive campaign, and 587 of those tested positive.

"There will be a zero tolerance approach, both before and after Christmas, and if you break the law and drive over the limit you not only run the risk of disqualification and a criminal prosecution, but you risk your own life as well as the lives of other road users," said Chief Superintendent John Turton from North Wales Police's Operational Support Division.
