give the gift of life this holiday season

Give the Gift of Life this holiday Season,
Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk

  • The Holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas is one of the deadliest and most dangerous times of the year due to an increase in impaired driving .
  • 1210 people in the US during December 2004 were killed in a highway crash
  • In 2004, over 15,000 alcohol related crashes involving a driver with a BAC of .08 or above
  • The Watts Team is encouraging everyone to give the gift of life this yearby helping make sure no one gets behind the wheel while impaired
  • Always Designate a Sober Designated Driver before the party.
  • If you are organizing a Holiday Party remind guests to designate a driver. Serve non-alcoholic beverages to the designated driver, other ways to avoid tragedy:
  • If impaired, Call a Taxi, use mass transit or call a sober friend.
  • Report Impaired Drivers to Law Enforcement
  • Always wear your seat belt, buckle up.
Spend the night where the party is held and sleep it off
