Driving Drunk Can Out Your Winter Plans on Ice

Every day, nearly 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that's one person every 45 minutes.

Being a responsible driver is simple: if you are drinking, do not drive. 

Plan your safe ride home before you start the party, choose a non-drinking friend as a designated driver.

 If someone you know has been drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel. Take their keys and help them arrange a sober ride home. 

 If you drink, do not drive for any reason. Call a taxi, a ride-hailing service, or a sober friend. 

 If you’re hosting a party where alcohol will be served, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver.

 Always wear your seat belt — it’s your best defense against impaired drivers.

If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact local law enforcement. Your actions could help save someone’s life.
