Holiday gatherings should end with hugs, not handcuffs or hospital trips. If you’re under the influence, don’t drive. Plan a sober ride.

Holiday roads are busy, icy, and unpredictable. Adding distractions—texts, calls, scrolling—puts everyone at risk. This season, give the gift of safety: stay focused, drive alert, and arrive home to the people who matter most.

This season, our community depends on each of us to make responsible choices. Impaired driving doesn’t just endanger the person behind the wheel—it puts families, kids, and neighbors at risk. If you’re drinking or using drugs, even “just a little,” don’t test your luck on winter roads. Choose a sober ride and help keep our community whole this holiday season.

Driving distracted? That’s a one-way ticket to the Naughty List.

As the holidays approach, I’ve been thinking about how much our traditions and celebrations shape what our kids see as “normal.”

I recently read an eye-opening post from Screenagers about holiday drinking and parental modeling — especially how what adults do (and post) around alcohol influences kids’ beliefs and behaviors.

I offer 5 ideas today for topics to raise and for how to model alcohol use during holiday festivities, whether you yourself drink or not.
