AS A DRIVER, PLAN AHEAD:
 
Arrange rides home for your friends, family, co-workers and yourself before the drinking begins
 
Identify and provide free non-alcoholic drinks or other promotional items to the Designated Driver
 
Party hosts and servers must limit drinks to your guests or patrons. Don’t serve more than one or two over several hours.
 
Cut back on the amount of drinks you plan to bring to the party – and provide plenty of food.
