Don’t Drink and Drive
The next day was New Year’s Eve, known in AA and among
bartenders as Amateur Night. Even people who didn’t normally drink too much drank
way too much.
I remembered several New Year’s Eves I’d preferred to
forget. Others I didn’t remember at all. I’d driven drunk more times than I
cared to think about.
That New Year’s Eve I’d be safely at home, not a danger to
myself or anyone else.
People I knew planned to stay over after a party. Others had
a designated driver or would call an Uber or Lyft.
Even so, there would people on the road who shouldn’t have
been. Some would be just a little impaired, others blind drunk. All were a threat to themselves and others,
including people I loved.
“Can’t stop everyone from drinking and driving,” I said to
myself, “but I’m grateful for the people who don’t.”
Today I’ll be grateful for people who don’t drink and drive.
