“People are celebrating, so obviously there’s going to be alcohol involved. They also want to get home after a long day of partying. What I’ll probably do is have one of my cousins who doesn’t drink take me to a family party I’ll be going to.”

“Because it’s so busy with everybody around, they feel that it’d be easier to drive instead of just wait for a cab or something. Even if I’m not drinking, I’ll keep a careful eye on the road and watch everyone else out there.”

“People normally get reckless with alcohol. My plan to stay safe is to stay aware of what I’m doing at all times and who I’m with. A lot of accidents happen when it’s late, after club hours.”
