Call Tipsy Tow in Northern, CA, NV and UT if you're too drunk to drive home on NYE

If you drink, you don't have to drive. Especially on New Year's Eve. This morning I found out about a program called "Tipsy Tow" from my friend Holly. AAA's Tipsy Tow is a free 10 mile tow home after 6:00 PM Dec. 31st until 6:00 AM Jan. 1st. The coolest part? You don't even have to be a member of AAA to use the service so if you're going out to party on NYE load this number into your smart phone right now in case you need a ride this weekend: 800-222-4357 or remember 800-AAA-HELP and ask for a "Tipsy Tow"

They will be offering their Safe and Sober program from 10 p.m. Saturday, January 31, 2011 through 4 a.m. Sunday, January 1, 2012. Due to the program's popularity, a cap of $35 per ride is in place so you'll need to pay the difference over that amount. For a ride home call the appropriate cab company listed above and tell them the ride is on Berg Injury Lawyers. BTW Kudos to Berg Injury Lawyers. I can tell you right now sponsoring a service like this, not everyday TV Commercials, is what has now made your company memorable to me.

Arrested in San Jose? Call Zig Zag Bail Bonds

Recently I watched a tv show about how much it sucks to get arrested for DUI or DWI. First of all it's humiliating. You have to take that field sobriety test on the side of the road. On the show the woman who failed was then arrested, booked, shackled to a metal pipe in a jail cell and had to call a friend for help to be bailed out. It's also expensive. The fines and court costs add up quickly, you'll lose your car for months or a year and possibly go to jail. Like I said, it all sucks.

And that's the good news because if you managed to get yourself arrested without injuring or killing an innocent bystander the amount of fines and jail time will be far lower than if you do. And of course there's always the chance you'll injure or kill yourself. IT IS NOT WORTH IT!

Seriously.

Santa Clara's Main Jail

Even when you're doing everything right life can turn on a dime and everything you have today, your health, your home, your friends, family and job can be gone in an instant so don't tempt fate and take a risk like driving buzzed or drunk. Please, don't do it. Think of everything you have and everyone you love and call for a ride. Not just on NYE, every day of the year.

BTW, I can afford to help friends with no money for a cab who find themselves stranded because they're too buzzed or drunk to drive (or the person you rode with is no longer safe to drive with) by coming to pick you up. I cannot however, afford to bail you out of jail.
