New Year's Even and Drunk Driving: Some Tips

Drunk driving is a phenomenon that usually increases during the holiday season because people are out drinking at parties and police put up traffic stops to catch anyone with a Blood-Alcohol-Content (BAC) of .08 or higher. Being charged with DUI can seriously affect every area of your life for extended periods of time, and having a DUI charge on your record can create a ripple affect in your career.

Here are a few tips on avoiding DUI charges his New Years:

• 
  
  Try to throw a party at your own home. No one has ever been charged with a DUI for being drunk in their own home.


• 
  
  If you do go out, designate a driver who won't drink. Police won't be able to tab sober drivers with DUI.


• 
  
  If you go out alone, or choose to leave a party early, contact a taxi-cab service. This holiday season, The Automobile Club of Southern California announced today that it will be offering free tow service to help keep drunk drivers off the road during the New Year's holiday.


• 
  
  If you can't get a ride, try to attend an even near your home so you can walk.


• 
  
  Make sure to eat plenty of food if you are consuming alcohol, consuming food keeps your BAC down.
