Tips for a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

If you are hosting a New Year’s Eve party, following a few simple rules could prevent a tragedy:

  • Plan ahead by naming a “designated driver.” Make this your responsibility as the host.

    • Contact a local cab company to provide rides for your guests.
    • Serve non-alcoholic beverages as an option to your guests.
    • Stop serving alcohol to your guests several hours before the party ends.
    • Provide your guests with a place to stay overnight in your home.
    If you are attending New Year’s Eve parties and celebrations: If you drink, don’t drive.
    • Plan ahead and always designate a sober driver before the party or celebration begins.
    • If you are impaired, call a taxi, use mass transit, or get a sober friend or family member to come pick you up.
    • Or, stay where you are until you are sober.
    • Take the keys from someone if you think he/she is too impaired to drive.
