Traffic is a nightmare for folks wanting to celebrate in Washington, DC that day.  That makes the metro very desirable in our area. 

Of course, no matter where you celebrate, having a designated driver, or back up plan to get home, is a must.

Elva I sure wish everyone would get on board about not driving after drinking.  It's just isn't worth it.  In my area I hear about folks that take an uber to and from parties - which is a very smart idea.
