After drinking, what is the recommended method to get home?

• A. Take a cab
• B. Drive slowly home
• C. Ask a passenger to drive
• D. Walk home

Answer: (A)

After drinking, your ability to drive is seriously impaired, affecting judgment, reaction time, and coordination. The safest and most reliable way to get home is to use a cab or other sober transportation so you aren’t behind the wheel. Driving slowly or asking someone who’s also under the influence to drive still puts you and others at high risk and can lead to crashes or legal trouble. Walking home may be unsafe depending on distance and surroundings, so the best option among the choices is to take a cab to ensure you get home safely.
