"AAA works year round to educate motorists about driving practices that will help keep them safe and reduce traffic-related crashes and the injuries that can result," AAA said in the report on their website. "PreventDUI.AAA.com is an online resource offering impaired driving facts, transportation alternatives and expert advice. Once there, AAA encourages visitors to Take the Pledge to drive drug and alcohol-free.

The Tipsy Tow program is a one-way ride for one driver, one passenger, and a vehicle and costs nothing if you're going less than 10 miles according to the report. Services will not be provided to those who are looking to go to another party or bar however.

The service will be offered from 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 1 to help keep drunk drivers off the road. Bartenders, restaurant managers, party hosts, or passengers are allowed to call on behalf of the driver if they feel he or she is too drunk to drive home.

You don't even need to be a AAA member to qualify, all callers need to say is "I need a Tipsy Tow" according to the AAA website and a truck will arrive shortly.
