Please remember these safety tips when you drink any alcoholic beverages:

• Have a designated driver, Plan ahead – before you plan a night out make sure to have a designated driver.
• Make an alternative plan – if you are out and have been drinking and no one is available to use one of the multiple car services available including a taxi, Uber or Lyft.
• Be aware – if you suspect someone is driving under the influence do not hesitate to immediately call the police and report it.
• Serving alcoholic beverages to minors is against the law – please do not allow any minors in your home to drink. Nothing good can come from this, and if you get caught allowing minors to consume alcohol you can be arrested, and charged with a criminal offense and fined.
