A reminder from our pals at @mpidrive if you are indulging in some liquid merriment at the upcoming Holiday Alley. Even if it’s one or two, you know what to do.
Plan a safe ride home:
- Arrange a DD
- Bring extra cash for a taxi
- Pick up yummy treats to bribe a family member to pick you up
- Plan an overnight stay
