December is an active month of holiday celebrations. Support National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month by partying safely this season. Designate a sober driver before celebrations begin or utilize Lyft, Uber or a Taxi service. Alcohol also may intensify the side effects of prescribed medications such as sleepiness, drowsiness, and light-headedness. These effects may interfere with your concentration and ability to drive a vehicle which could lead to serious or even fatal accidents.
