The holidays are all about celebrating, spending time with family, and reconnecting with old friends. We hope yours are filled with great celebration. Sometimes, alcohol is part of that celebration, and when it is, we want you to be safe. Here are some things to consider:

If you plan on driving yourself, it’s important to watch how much you drink. If you are the main source of transportation for yourself and others, make sure to plan to kick back a few sodas or seltzers in place of alcohol.

If you find yourself in a situation where you have had too much to drink, always make sure you have a back-up plan. There are many options these days for safe methods of transportation when you find yourself a little too buzzed to get behind the wheel. Calling a cab, using a ride-share app, or even calling a sober friend are excellent alternatives. Any loved one would much rather pick you up in the evening than pick you up from jail the next day or from an accident that night.

If you do run into problems with drinking and driving over the Holidays, give us a call as soon as possible.
