## Key points

- Plan a sober journey home if you expect to drink.
- Set up rideshare details before leaving for the party.
- Keep a taxi, public transport or sober driver as a backup.

## Summary

The article advises people attending holiday parties to arrange a sober journey home if they plan to drink, with rideshares offered as one option. It notes that alcohol can impair driving before a driver reaches the 0.08% blood alcohol limit cited for most US states, so a safe ride can reduce the risk of driving impaired.

It recommends setting up a rideshare account and payment details in advance, considering a return ride and helping friends arrange transport. Because apps may be unavailable or wait times can vary, the article suggests backup options such as taxis, public transport or a sober designated driver, and says passengers injured in a rideshare crash may face complex insurance questions.
