Most people should know that drinking and driving is illegal. Not only can it affect the way you drive, but it can cause serious harm to those around you.

On New Year's Eve, it's tempting to flounce the rule as the designated driver for the night becomes too anxious to join in with the spirit of things. Think again.

It's better to be safe than sorry when drinking is concerned. Do not do it. Just one glass could be the difference between having a good or bad start to 2011.

Taxis may be dear, but it will certainly be safer in the long-run.
