The holiday season is a time for friends, family and extra cheer -- but it is also the season for DUI checkpoints and alcohol-related accidents on the roadway.
According to the U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), 40% of traffic-related deaths during Christmas and New Year's involve drunk drivers. The NHTSA estimates that alcohol related fatalities increase by more than 30% during the Christmas holiday and by about 50% over New Years.
To help combat these statistics, there are several companies across the nation that offer alternatives to drinking and driving. Many of them are free and the ones that charge, are very affordable -- especially when you consider the cost of a DUI, or worse, the consequences of causing a fatal accident.
Since we all like to have a little fun --especially during the holiday season -- here is a list of excellent options that are available in cities and states across the nation that are great, easy and affordable alternatives to driving yourself home. While not all of these are available everywhere, most of them are available in bigger cities.
