This year New Year's day falls on Tuesday (2012) so I look at the drinking and driving lasting from Friday night, December 28, 2012 - January 1, 2013. This is a very scary thought!
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety says that drinking and driving DEATHS increase by 150% over the New Year's holiday. This number is staggering!
I have always been concerned about going out New Year's Eve because I view EVERY driver on the road has been drinking. ONE death caused by a drunk driver is ONE DEATH TOO MANY!!
It is TOO EASY to not drink and drive!! Have a designated driver, call a taxi, call home and have someone come get you....there is NO EXCUSE for driving drunk.
The BAC that is considered DUI is .08! That averages to about one drink per hour but this depends on YOU. Have you eaten? What do you weigh? What is your tolerance for alcohol? Many factors come into play when it comes to whether you have had too much to drink.
New Year's Eve this year there are many opportunities to get a FREE ride home here in Colorado. Some areas there are more opportunities but EVERY AREA HAS ONE....Don't drink and drive....call someone to come get you.
