If you're hosting a party:

Be sure all your guests have a sober ride home and ensure they designate their sober drivers in advance. Help friends book a ride or take public transit.
-
If you have a friend who is about to drink and drive, take the keys away and let a sober driver get your friend home safely.
-
Consider having non-alcoholic drinks available for guests and designated drivers.
-
Don't serve alcohol to minors.
If you're attending a party:
-
If you're going to drink, make a plan for a sober driver to safely bring you home.
-
If you are the designated driver, you are the game night MVP. Enjoy the food and nonalcoholic drinks and refrain from any alcohol or drugs.
-
Plan to use public transportation or schedule a taxi or ride-hailing service if you cannot find a designated driver.
-
When going home, whether you are the designated driver or the passenger, make sure everyone wears their seat belts. It's your best defense in a crash.
