Celebrating with friends and family is one of the most important parts of the holiday season. Unfortunately, there is a one-holiday tradition that can put innocent lives at risk of an accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drunken driving accidents and fatalities increase significantly between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated is a reckless and irresponsible activity that compromises an individual’s ability to make decisions and drive safely.

Alcohol and the Holidays
Many factors contribute to increased drunken driving accidents during the holiday season. During this time, there are typically many parties or get-togethers with friends and family where drinking alcohol is acceptable and a major part of the event.
Throughout the holiday season, it is important to be vigilant while driving, as increased numbers of drunk drivers on the road pose a risk to your health and safety. Unfortunately, even the most careful drivers cannot prevent all accidents.
