Often food and beverages are part of the fun, and that includes alcoholic beverages, which may flow a little more read- ily during festive occasions. Niznik Behavioral Health says crash fatality rates in- volving alcohol increase by about five times during holidays. Roughly 131 peo- ple die in crashes involving alcohol each holiday, com- pared to 25 deaths during non-holidays, according to data compiled for the National Highway Traf- fic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System between 2013 and 2017. The numbers continue to grow. According to Mon- eyGeek, driving under the influence-related fatalities were 23 percent higher in 2021 than 2016. Among the holidays with the high- est rates of DUI, Inde- pendence Day and other summer holidays top the list, but impaired driving also is prevalent between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. It's perfectly alright to have fun in social situa- tions. However, that fun should involve responsible behavior, particularly when consuming alcohol. Here's how to enjoy celebrations while also playing it safe. • Take driv- ing off the table. When planning social occasions, remove the need to drive entirely. Ensure the party location is within walking distance for guests, or at a convenient spot accessible by public transportation. Hosts can encourage guests to utilize taxis or rideshare services so everyone can leave their cars at home. • Take the emphasis off of alcohol. Plan events that do not necessarily need to be drinking-heavy. Experiential events, such as escape rooms, crafting sessions, culinary demon- strations, and others can shift the focus away from drinking. • Serve alcohol early. If alcoholic beverages will be served, have a cut-off time when these drinks no longer will be served. This way guests will have a chance to recover and sober up before leaving. • Provide drink vouch- ers. Limit how much guests drink by setting a quota. Work with an es- tablishment so that each party-goer only gets a set number of drink tokens or tickets. When they're used up, then they no longer will be served. • Make food a priority. Shift the focus from drinks to food. Those who have filled up on plenty of snacks or a big meal may be less likely to over-indulge. • Change your venue. A gathering at a bar may set the tone that drinking will be prioritized. Look for party venues where drink- ing may not be allowed, such as church or school party rooms, or not as ac- cessible, such as a BYOB restaurant. • Always have a sober chaperone. At each event, one or more people should make the pledge to stay sober so they can ensure the safety of guests. This may mean driving them home themselves or ar- ranging for transportation. Festivities may include alcohol, but hosts and party planners should take steps to reduce the likeli- hood that guests will drive while under the influence. Avoid driving under the influence
