The solution is simple: If you drink, do not drive.
- Plan a safe ride home before you start drinking by choosing a designated driver or planning to take a Lyft, Uber, or taxi.
- If someone you know has been drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel. Take their keys and help them arrange a safe ride home.
- If you're hosting a party where alcohol will be served, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver.
- If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact local law enforcement — your actions could help save lives.
