Protect yourself and those around you: if you’re drinking, don’t drive. Here are 5 ways how you can avoid drunk driving.
The first step in avoiding drunk driving is completely eliminating the possibility of actually being able to drive. So if you’re going out for a heavy night this festive season, or any other time, make sure you leave your car keys at home.
Organising seasonal celebrations at home eliminates one of the biggest contributors to drunk driving: the need to get from point A to B. While drinking excessively is discouraged, you can feel much safer drinking if you’re actually sleeping in the same place you’re vibing.
Do not be afraid to do this. Hiding your friends’ keys if they’re too drunk will do nothing except protect them. Sometimes, admitting you’re drunk or unable to drive may be a hard pill to swallow so sometimes you just need someone to do it for you.
Bad influences exist everywhere. Don’t give in to any claims or suggestions made by wrong people who think driving whilst under the influence of alcohol is okay: book a taxi.
Beyond taking care of yourself, take on the responsibility of protecting your friends & family this festive season. If you, or the owner of where you live allows it, offer your friends to sleep over if they’ve had a drink too many.
Remember. Don’t drink and drive.

Argentinian football fans have been in party mode ever since Sunday the 18th of December, and it looks as if they just took to the next level.
In one of the celebratory videos shared on social media, a particular group of friends were filmed changing a street name to Messi Av. following the player’s success in the World Cup.

Messi, a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, scored a total of seen goals, including a final brace to bring Argentina out as champions as they played France in Qatar.
The street party in Buenos Aires saw hundreds of thousands of fans convening to the centre of the city to celebrate the tournament win. The players had to even be transported away via helicopter as their voyage to reach the Obelisco was cut short.
