The Best New Year’s Resolution: Don’t’ Drink and Drive!

The holiday season is everyones favorite time of the year. There is plenty of celebrating, and alcohol involved, from beer and wine to cocktails and shots. With the party season comes the inevitable increase in drinking and driving and the danger drunk drivers impose on the road. Each holiday season, the newspaper headlines are depressingly similar with an increase in automobile accidents and fatalities due to drunk drivers.

According to MADD, "each year nationally, more than 1,000 typically die during Thanksgiving to New Years in drunk driving crashes." Be more responsible in regards to drinking and driving because you are not just endangering your life, but you are endangering other people's lives too.

DUIs are at an all time high and law enforcement will be out in full force for New Years Eve. There will also be an increase in random roadblocks and DUI checkpoints throughout the holiday season. Do not drink & drive! Why risk getting a DUI and taking a ride down to the local precinct? It can, and will, cost you your license, jail time, thousands of dollars and your life.

Although it is in each individuals best interest to drink responsibly, holiday party hosts, family and friends should also take into consideration how everyone is going to get home safely after a night of celebrating.

Many New Year's revelers get into trouble because they don't recognize that their driving skills and decision-making abilities are impaired long before they begin to show physical signs of intoxication, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).

Planning is key to being a safe driver throughout the holidays, or any time for that matter. This means either arranging to stay the night at a hotel or wherever the party is being held, calling Topper to transport you home, or deciding early in the evening which person will stay sober and be the designated driver. The designated driver needs to be committed to staying sober the entire evening as that is the only way to ensure everyone will get home safely. Trying to sober up at the end of the night is not a good idea and is a recipe for disaster.

We want you to enjoy the holidays with your friends and family, but we would also like for you to be safe. Thousands of people die every year because of alcohol related accidents. Be responsible and do not become another statistic! Do the right thing and give Topper a call!
