During this holiday season, it helps to remind everyone that drinking and driving is a bad idea. For that matter, driving after consuming excess quantities of any psychoactive substance is a bad idea. Please drive sober.
State Farm: Don’t drink and drive.

Don’t drive impaired or allow someone else to drive impaired. The Chicago Transit Authority continues its tradition of penny rides on New Year’s Eve; this is an excellent option if your NYE plans take you along a CTA route. Taxis are also a great option in both the city and the suburbs. If motoring is still the plan, choose a responsible designated driver.
Celebrate responsibly, so you can celebrate again!
