    Default Tis the Season to Get Killed

    Howdy Folks -

    Its Holiday time, which brings festive feelings, Xmas parties and usually a lot of drinking. Sadly, that also brings a lot of drunk driving, and fatalities.

    I would just like to ask of all those who reads these Forums - regular posters and lurkers alike - to be extra extra careful when drinking during the season. So many people think "I can have that last one - what the Hell.. it’s Xmas". Usually that last one is the one that you DONT need. It can be the one that puts you over the edge and makes you a danger to yourself and others.

    Xmas may be a more festive time, but that doesn’t have any bearing on the possibilities of getting into an accident - death doesn’t take the holidays off. I have seen that time and time again - "Oh, it’s alright.. nothing will happen to me", "Hey it’s the Holidays... I will be fine" etc. Guess what? People who think that are wrong.

    Please please please, fellow and beloved Forum Members - if you are drinking this holiday, pace yourself, drink on a full stomach (eat BEFORE you start drinking, not while you are drinking), alternate between an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic drink, refrain from doing that Holiday shot, and DONT take that one last drink for the road. I want you all to be safe for yourself and others.

    Tonight I worked a short, 4-hour shift. In that time I cut off 6 people. All six said something to the effect that "Why are you cutting me off? It’s the Holidays!". None saw that they were getting drunker, and used the Holidays as an excuse to try to get more. I can live with someone being pissed at me - I can’t live with someone dying because I over served them. I get this every Xmas, and so far, going on 12 years, no one has gotten into an accident after leaving my bar. Holidays or no Holidays, being drunk and driving will get you killed.

    I wish to everyone here a great holiday, and I want you all alive when it’s done. Just say "no thanks" for that last drink.

    Take care and "Fleas Navy Dad”.

    PJ

    Good advice P_J. unfortunately I lost a friend about two weeks ago. If someone would have cut him off he may still be with us. :'(

    The Holidays are filled with stressed drivers and people who have had a few to many drinks.

    Please remember, when on the freeway, stay out of the fast lane. Sometimes drunks will get onto the freeway the wrong way and think the fast lane is the slow lane. It's scary to see headlamps pass you on the same side of the road.

    Best wishes and be safe... will be looking for dance clubs on my vacation trip from Detroit to Florida... Hugs everyone.

    I agree wit you PJ, it's just a sad time of year for alot because of drunk driving. Also the suicide rate is amoung the highest this time of year too. As well as depression. I am not a big fan of Christmas, but i celebrate. And New Years this year, i am staying home.

    I am a party pooper i guess. But i really like to sleep the new year in now.

    I am glad I aint the only party pooper. I have nothing against drinking (I quit a long time ago), but I do have a problem with them getting behind the wheel. I quite enjoy being the designated driver. Not only does everyone get home safe, I can make up stories they wont remember if they are true or not.

    I, too, stay home on New Year's. It's so much safer. Thank you for your post PJ, and Witt, I'm sorry for your loss.

    Aww PJ, your so sweet. Thanx for thinking of this post, great idea. I'll probably go to a party this year, or I'll try to. I don't know if I'll make it, I'm just a party pooper like Pamela.

    If nothing else, sober you are better able to dodge the drunks on the road. Thanks PJ. And keep up the good work. Customers in boxes do not buy drinks or dances.
