In our lives there are very few things that we can expect, and predict to go a certain way from start to finish. While there are only a few that can be expected there are many occasions, and instances in our lives that we not only cannot expect, but when we have the opportunity to do so never can truly predict what its outcome may be. Holidays are an aspect of the year that we can expect to occur seasonally, which we can expect to either celebrate with our friends, or family.
Alcohol’s Place During The Holidays
Unfortunately, however, we cannot always predict how a holiday will be celebrated, and the outcome of things taken to the extreme. Soon to come pertaining to holidays is that of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. During these three holidays one can assume a few factors such as travel, great food, enjoyable fellowship, and probably that of alcohol. Alcohol is one substance that always seems to have a spot on the guest list at many holiday functions regardless of whether it has to do with your family, friends, or co-workers. Yet, holidays are just like normal days within the year that can be full of potential for an accident, or mistake to occur.
During the holiday season each year we see an increase of DUI related crimes, or accidents that take place all over the country. From individuals simply driving erratically to that of serious auto accidents taking place alcohol is one aspect of a holiday that can negatively affect you and your loved one’s holiday season now and for years to come. Aside from the danger an individual puts themselves in when driving under the influence they face serious legal consequences that can affect their lives now, and later on multiple levels such as legally, personally, and professionally.
This holiday season make sure that you have a great time of food and fun with your friends and loved ones. However, make sure that when alcohol is present that it is drunken modestly if you know you will be traveling on the roads later, or have a designated driver in place.
