You’re out late. You’ve had a good time, but also a few too many drinks with friends. You just want to get in your car and go home. Don’t do it! Driving under the influence is not only illegal, it’s dangerous and not something you should tolerate or ever attempt. Instead, get a ride. Here are a few easy ways to do that.
Ride with a Friend
Whenever you go out with a group of friends, you should have a designated driver. This is a person who has agreed to stay sober for the evening to ensure that everyone gets a safe ride back home. Be kind to your designated driver and offer to return the favor on the next outing.
Ride from Someone Else
There’s plenty of ride-sharing options to getting a safe ride home. Taxis are still a solid option, but now you have even more options, like Lyft and Uber, which are now available in San Antonio. These are all going to cost you something, but they are the best way to get home at any time of the day or night.
Ride the Bus
There’s nothing glamorous about public transportation, but a bus home can get you home cheaply and safely. Busing is affordable, and many bus routes now run through popular neighborhoods and night life spots, so it’s never been easier to take the bus when necessary.
When you go out, have a good time, but get a safe ride home. There’s no excuse to endanger yourself or others. There are plenty of options to get home safely, so don’t drive under the influence — arrive alive!
