When raising holiday cheer or toasting with a tipple, plan ahead to make sure guests return home safe and sound:
• Never let guests drive home impaired. Even if they’ve had one drink all night, have alternative transportation arranged for guests. Ask guests about their round-trip travel plans as they arrive, before they’ve imbibed any liquor.
• Arrange for taxis to arrive at the estimated end time of your party. Many large taxi companies also offer taxi dollars that you can buy in advance. And keep a list of local taxi numbers by your entryway for guests who may leave early.
