    The holiday season offers a vast array of choices when it comes to celebrations and parties. No matter which holidays you prefer to celebrate, chances are that you have family, friends or co-workers who are hosting one or more events. When alcohol is served, you may decide to have a drink or two, but it is wise to avoid getting behind the wheel if you do consume any alcohol.

    Every winter, many Arizonans find themselves facing an arrest or charge for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI). Although an arrest or charge does not mean you are necessarily guilty, serious consequences may result that impact your life.

    To avoid becoming a DUI arrest statistic this holiday season, consider the following tips:

    • Know how you are getting home before you go out. Pair up with a designated driver, take a cab or public transportation or plan to walk. These safeguards assist in assuring that you get home safely. Thank your designated driver with a meal, a steady supply of his or her preferred non-alcoholic beverage or an offer to pay for gas. This can only encourage your driver and others to take on the responsibility of getting everyone home safely in the future.
    • Program the phone numbers of several local cab companies into your cell phone. This may assist in obtaining a ride when you or someone else needs assistance in transportation.
