Question 5

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We supply disposable safety gear for free, including laboratory coats, gloves and safety goggles. For the safety of all guests we require lab coats, gloves and goggles to be worn during all experimentation. Any chemicals used are food grade and commonly used at home.

Question 6

Are the experiments safe to do under the influence of alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Here's why: No unsafe materials or equipment will be used. Experiments are easy to understand and do not require extensive critical thinking skills that would inhibit you from completing each experiment. Lab Assistants will be there to help guide you, and ensure any safety rules are followed.

Question 7

Is it safe to drink in a laboratory?

Accepted Answer

The Lit Lab London TM is neither a real laboratory nor located in a laboratory. It is a laboratory themed event where the consumption of alcohol is permitted (unlike a real lab where eating and drinking is not permitted).

Question 8

Are there non-alcoholic options?

Accepted Answer

Yes absolutely! Any guest is welcome to swap drinks for a non-alcoholic option. For example,  shots can be swapped for sweets, and the first science shot can be made as a mocktail.
