Have a Safe Super Bowl
Each year, the Super Bowl garners millions of viewers, with many taking the opportunity to cheer on their favored team with a night out or by attending a party. This year, the Big Game falls on Sunday, February 11, 2024. If your night involves alcohol outside your home, plan for a sober ride home. If you’re hosting a party, take care of your guests.
 
Designated Drivers:

• Take your role as designated driver seriously — people are relying on you. If you’re attending a party, enjoy the food and nonalcoholic drinks. Refrain from any alcoholic beverages or other drugs.
• Always buckle your seat belt and require any passengers to do the same. Don’t start the car until all passengers’ seat belts are buckled.
• If someone you know has been drinking and tries to drive, take their keys and help them get home safely. Even if they make a fuss in the moment, they’ll thank you later.
• Boast about your MVP status on social media using the hashtag #DesignatedDriver. Your positive influence could help keep other sober drivers on the right track.

• It’s illegal and dangerous to drive drunk. Before you head out to a Super Bowl party, make a plan that includes a sober driver — someone who will not drink at all, and will safely bring you home.
• Make sure your designated driver is actually sober. If he or she decides to drink unexpectedly, call a sober ride. 
• Don’t let friends drive drunk. If someone at your party has been drinking, help arrange a safe way for them to get home, too.
• When you ride home with your sober driver, make sure you — and your driver — wear your seat belts. It’s your best defense in a crash.

• If you are hosting a Super Bowl party, be sure all your guests have a sober ride home.  Ask your guests to designate their sober drivers in advance.
• Encourage your drinking guests to pace themselves, eat food, and drink plenty of water. Serve a selection of nonalcoholic drinks.
• Do not serve alcohol to minors. If an underage person drinks and drives, the person who provided the alcohol can be held liable for any damage, injury, or death caused by the underage driver.

• Impaired driving is a serious problem with serious consequences. Don’t become another statistic. In 2020, there were 11,654 people killed in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes.
• Drunk driving can have a range of consequences, including the possibility of causing a traumatic crash. These crashes could cause you, someone you love, or a total stranger to suffer serious injuries or even death. The social and emotional ramifications of drunk driving are far-reaching as well; imagine having to live with the knowledge that you made a choice that caused someone else’s injury or death.
• The consequences of drunk driving can be deadly, but they can also be expensive. Drunk drivers can face jail time, the loss of their driver’s license, higher insurance rates, attorney’s fees, court costs, and lost wages due to time off from work. The average DUI costs approximately $10,000.
