This Holiday, is a time of togetherness with loved ones, our family and friends. Sometimes its at your Mom & Dad's other times its the Holiday party downtown.
With each holiday comes the festive food and with many families today, a festive drink.. and I'm not talking about the kiddie version of Egg Nog. The extra spruced up Christmas Punch. Many will have festive alcoholic drinks.
Drink and be merry, but if you drink , be responsible!
In 2008, nearly 12,000 people in the U.S. were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes - and during the periods around Christmas and New Year's, this number was particularly high, with 316 people killed in alchol-impaired driving crashes. In 2007, 162,493 women were arrested for a DUI, an increase of almost 29% since 1998. You can't help but wonder if lives could have been saved if people thought twice before getting behind the wheel. With the holidays approaching, it's important that drivers be reminded about the dangers of buzzed driving. Who knows...it could save a life.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) and the Ad Council are asking everyone to drive smart this holiday season and to pledge not to drive buzzed.
