Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You will drive to a friend's party where alcohol will be served, and you may have a few drinks. When is the best time to decide how you will get home?
Correct answer: Before your first drink, such as by handing your keys to a sober friend
Why
People who have been drinking seldom think about what could happen next, so the time to plan is before any alcohol. Good plans include a designated driver who does not drink, staying overnight, a cab, a ride-share service or public transit. If you do drink, drink slowly and alternate alcoholic drinks with drinks that have no alcohol. Stop drinking several hours before you plan to leave so that your BAC can start to fall.
