Avoid Drunk Driving During the Holidays

During the holiday season, we experience a higher number of DWI's due to a lot of people traveling  or just simply going to a family celebration. The more people that are out on the road, the higher the number of people driving drunk is higher as well.

​To avoid getting a DWI, refrain from driving under the influence. Here are some tips on how to help avoid drunk driving during the holidays. 

• Designated Drivers- The holiday season is all about different celebrations, meaning there will be more than one event. A good way to avoid drunk driving is by taking turns with friends or family being a designated driver for that night. For example, your friend can be designated driver on Christmas Eve and the following night, you can be designated driver. 
• Uber/Lyft/Taxi's- If designated drivers are not really your thing, have an Uber/Lyft pick you and your friends up for the night to ensure a safe ride home free of DWI's. Even if the location is nearby, the risk of getting pulled over remains the same.
• Stay Overnight- One of the most effective ways to avoid drunk driving is by staying over at the place of the event or somewhere near by where the party is at. Just be sure to ask in advance if it's okay to stay the night. 
• Drink Smart- If you are aware of the amount of drinking you are doing, it reduces the chances of you getting too drunk and having a massive hangover the next day, even if you are not driving. However, if you are driving, refrain from drinking too much or all together. Everyone's alcohol tolerance level is different, so one or two drinks can really harm you if you are pulled over.
