Follow These Tips to Avoid a DUI this 2022 Holiday Season

1. Find Someone to be Your Designated Driver

One of the best ways to avoid a DUI this 2022 holiday season is to let someone else who is older do the driving for you. If you are going with a group of friends or family to a holiday event, designate someone to drive everyone around. Make sure you choose someone that is dedicated to the responsibility of staying sober.

2. Use Public Transportation

The bus, cabs, or public ride sharing services, like Uber or Lyft, are great ways to avoid a DUI. It won’t be free, but it will cost a lot less than the penalties associated with a DUI.

3. Eat Plenty of Holiday Dinner

Food, especially grains, absorb alcohol sitting in your stomach. This reduces your blood alcohol content by giving your liver a chance to process the alcohol you have already consumed.

4. Stop Drinking Early

It takes an hour for your body to process one beer, one shot of alcohol, or one glass of wine. So, if you must drive home, it is a good idea to stop drinking early. This particular tip to avoid a DUI this 2022 holiday season will only work if you have only had two or three drinks. Drinking excessively doesn’t leave much time to sober up and it’s best to find an alternate way home.

5. Give Someone Else Your Keys

If you don’t have your keys, you can’t use them. It will be very inconvenient, and you may not remember giving your keys away. However, the headache of tracking a ride home will be less than having to deal with a DUI arrest.
