Who wants to be the designated driver?
If you’ll be out celebrating this weekend – hopefully you’ve got a designated driver. If it’s NOT you – have some mercy. If it is – here’s what you’ll need:
• Non-alcoholic beverages – obviously.
• Responsibility. The designated driver should have a reliable vehicle, a good driving record, and all necessary documents in order.
• Designated departure time. Agree on this BEFORE the others start drinking – time flies when they’re having fun.
• Designated passenger. Getting angry or yelling at intoxicated passengers can make that ride home MUCH worse – designate someone else in the car to deal with any distractions.
• Number for a cab. You’ll be the best judge concerning others at the party. Go ahead and call a cab if you run out of seats – or if there’s someone you’re not comfortable inviting into your car.
Offering to be the designated driver has its perks too – you’re doing EVERYONE on the road a favor – and you’ll feel a LOT better on New Year’s Day.
