Warm nights, patio lights and big laughs with friends? It’s a vibe.
Drinking and driving home?
Definitely not a vibe.
Keep the good vibes going. Whether it’s a backyard barbeque, 18-holes, or weekend festival, make sure your plans include a safe ride home.

Don’t kill the vibe this summer.
Driving under the influence doesn’t just mean being obviously drunk—it can include getting behind the wheel when you feel only slightly “buzzed.” Alcohol affects everyone differently, and factors like being out in the sun, dehydration, or not eating enough can make even a small amount hit harder and impair your judgment faster than expected.
Buzzed driving is still drunk driving. Even a little alcohol can slow reaction time, reduce focus, and increase the risk of crashes, arrests, injuries, or worse. The safest choice is simple: if you’ve had anything to drink, don’t drive. The risks and consequences just aren’t worth it.

Make a plan before you enjoy any bevvies.
The best way to stay safe is to plan your safe ride home before that first drink. Here are some options:
- Have a designated sober driver before going out.
- Use a rideshare or taxi service – set it up ahead of time.
- Use public transportation if it’s available in your area.
- Stay the night at a friend’s place if needed.
- Don’t let friends drive drunk. Take their keys, call them a ride or help them find a safe place to stay.
And remember: Mixing alcohol and cannabis can significantly amplify impairment, even if each is used in small amounts. The combined effects can intensify drowsiness, slow reaction time, and impair judgment more than either substance alone, making driving especially dangerous.
