With over 89,200 DUI arrests made in the state of Texas, the chances of being taken to jail for drunk driving are very high this Thanksgiving. According to MADD, also known as Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Texas leads the nation in drunk driving deaths with 1,213 people fatalities in 2011[1]. There are even more quantifiably bad reasons why you should never drink and drive, whether it’s a holiday or not. It’s been reported that nearly 1,300 drunk driving fatalities have occurred, with at least 25,671 alcohol related crashes and 16,882 alcohol related crash injuries.

Thanksgiving is a holiday built on the principles of sharing, showing gratitude, and spending quality time with family and friends. Don’t let drunk driving ruin your holiday – call a cab instead. Local cab companies will have drivers on the road, available for you to call when you’ve had too much of Auntie Maybelle’s hard apple cider.
