Tip
of the Week
Don't Drink & Drive
After a few alcoholic drinks, it becomes easy to
rationalize with yourself that you're okay to drive. However, it's very simple:
If you're driving - don't drink! With drinking and driving laws
becoming more strict, it's easy to become over the legal limit, and the
repercussions could cost you, or someone else's life.
Arrange a Ride Beforehand - Part of planning your
night out should include a ride home. Arranging a ride home beforehand will
mean a more relaxing night and will eliminate any chance of rationalizing that
you're okay to drive home after a few drinks.
Have a Designated Driver - Arrange with a friend or family member to be the designated driver before going out. Have a friend accompany you who's not going to drink, or phone him to come get you when you are ready to be picked up.
Intervene If Someone You Know Intends to Drive Drunk - If a friend or family member has had too much to drink and insists on driving, reason with her and persuade her to hand over the keys. Be calm and explain that you will arrange a ride home for her, and that you are doing her a favor by not letting her drive drunk
