“Don’t drink and drive” is a familiar
phrase in today’s society - and it’s a slogan that should be heeded and taken
seriously. Having a designated driver will
keep you out of serious legal trouble and more importantly, save your life or
the lives of others. A designated driver
can be a friend or family member – or, another convenient option is to hire a
cab or luxury sedan service.
For a concept that barely existed only a couple of
decades ago, designated drivers are now popular for New Year’s Eve parties and,
for that matter, any occasion where folks might drink more than the legal limit
and require transportation.
If selecting a designated driver in your group, the
process isn’t as simple as gathering your friends together before a party and
picking straws. Don’t just “take turns.”
Best case scenario, everyone should be equally capable of abstaining from
alcohol for one evening. However, this
task should always fall to the most trustworthy person, no matter if he or she
was the designated driver at the Christmas party two weeks ago.
Show some respect. Being the designated driver generally
isn’t that much fun, and it’s even less so when your friends hassle you about
it. Remember, your designated driver is there to save your life.
If you’re the host—ask. Hosting a party involves more
than just putting out the food and keeping the fridge filled with beer. It’s
also your responsibility to ensure
your guests make it home safely. It’s always appropriate to ask who the
designated driver is. If no one has given this any thought, don’t serve any
alcohol until a decision has been made.
Another great and convenient options is calling a cab or
luxury sedan. Often times, the best-designed designated driver is a professional
cab or luxury sedan service.
