If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that responsible options actually are all around. To us, you are perfect, but we know even the people on the nice list like to enjoy a drink or two for the holidays. Before you start getting blitzed, make plans for a safe sleigh ride home. Consider designating a sober driver for evening, calling a ride-share service or staying home to enjoy your holiday safely.
