Ring in the New Year — safely

The New Year is just around the corner, and for many it will be a time to get dressed up and celebrate the countdown to 2012.

With many of those celebrations involving alcohol, it is also a time to remember to plan ahead and make good decisions about drinking and driving. Even the best of us can be tempted to believe it’s safe to drive after “just a few drinks.” But statistics show that this just isn’t the case. It doesn’t take much alcohol to create impairment, and effectively put lives in danger.
