As we head into Christmas week and New Year's week, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!
It's that time of the year again when we all get together wwith family, friends and colleagues to celebrate the festivities. While we all enjoy the merriment please be careful......Jim Frimmer posted this excellent reminder, have a look and stay safe! http://activerain.com/blogsview/1394469/as-we-head-into-christmas-week-and-new-year-s-week-don-t-drink-and-drive-
When I was a freshman at the University of Redlands, one of the guys that I was fast becoming friends with was killed during the Christmas holidays by a drunk driver. That was back in 1978. Since then I've been very careful when I go out and think that I might be drinking.
I'm not one to get drunk anyway — my first Mardi Gras is the only time I ever got drunk — but I don't know how much alcohol my body can absorb before my blood alcohol would register .08, and I would prefer not to find out.
As we head into Christmas Day and New Year's Eve with alcoholic egg nog and those fabulous New Year's Eve drinks, remember to arrange for a designated driver, a taxi, or an overnight stay with a friend rather than taking a chance on driving home drunk and possibly ruining your life and the lives of those around you. It's just not worth it for a momentary buzz from alcohol.
Since September 20, there have been nine fatal car crashes in San Diego County involving drivers under the age of 21 with drugs and alcohol being a factor in at least five of them. Those nine crashes have resulted in eleven deaths. Keep an eye on your family; know where they are, what they are doing, and with whom they are doing it.
San Diego County law enforcement officials will be out in force over the holidays protecting the roads from drunk drivers. Zero-tolerance check points are planned throughout San Diego County through January 3.
