…is to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities resulting from drunk driving in northern Colorado. To do this we are providing a unique designated driving service.

Too many people rationalize driving drunk because they don’t want to leave their car at the bar. Now, there’s no need to take that risk.

It’s the weekend! 5pm on Friday? What are you going to do? Go work out? Go see the kids? Take the wife to dinner? Rushing home to see the husband? What about later tonight, are you going out and having a good time? Great! By all means, you deserve it! Well if you’re going to be drinking, think about these things:
Here are some tips and advice for all you lover’s of the night life:
- -Alternate beer, liquor, wine with a glass of water
- -Don’t “pound” drinks to catch up
- -Have a snack, appetizer, or meal something to “soak” up some of that alcohol
- -Make plans in advance, have a DD, call a friend, walk home, call a taxi, or if you need your car home, call a designated driving service
- -DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE, it’s not worth it
- -Most importantly, have a great night, but be smart about it
Some people suggest other alternatives of how to drink and suggestions of how to “sober up” enough to be okay to drive. Why risk getting a DUI? More importantly, why risk putting other people’s lives in danger? People may feel sober enough to drive, but with DUI penalties are strict and are about to get more strict in Colorado. Your career, life, family, and lives of others are not worth risking by deciding to drive after drinking.
Everyone has heard that the average cost of DUI’s is $10,000, but the real cost is much more. Your reputation, time, career, family, friends, and life will be effected after receiving a DUI. Not only that, Colorado Legislature is considering implementing a plan that would include 10 days mandatory jail time in second offense DUI cases, and 60 days mandatory jail time for 3rd time DUI offenders.
It’s 12:30 am now early Saturday morning. You’re tired of dancing, or want the comfort of your bed but you’ve been drinking all night. And your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend is more drunk than you are. What do you do?
After reading this article, hopefully you will make plans so you can wake up in the morning safe, refreshed and with your car in the driveway – instead of back at the bar.
