PLEASE REMEMBER:
No matter what kind of party you have,
be responsible to your guests.
Monitor everyone that is drinking alcoholic beverages.
Don't allow anyone to leave if you feel they may have had
a little to much to drink.
Even if they insist they are fine.
Even a little alchohol can alter someone's driving ability.
Offer to drive them home, call them a cab,
allow someone else to drive them home,
that you know has NOT been drinking.
Keeping everyone safe, on and off,
the road is everyone's
responsibilty.
Just because you are hosting the party,
doesn't mean you shouldn't be concerned.
!! MAKE IT YOUR CONCERN !!
Keep your guests and others on the road SAFE!
