Tips from Monrovia Police Department on how to have a safe Cinco de Mayo celebration.
If you are hosting a party for Cinco de Mayo:
- Remember, you can be held liable and prosecuted if someone you serve is involved in an impaired driving crash.
- Make sure all your guests designate a sober driver in advance or help arrange ride-sharing with other sober drivers.
- Serve lots of food and include lots of non-alcoholic beverages at the party.
- Keep the phone numbers for local cab companies handy and take the keys away from anyone who is thinking of driving impaired.
If you are attending a Cinco de Mayo Celebration Party:
- Designate a sober driver before the party begins and give that person your car keys.
- If you do not have a designated driver, call a cab, sober friend, or family member to pick you up.
- Never let a friend leave your sight if you think they are about to drive drunk.
- Always buckle up.
Alcohol not only dangerously impairs your driving skills, it impairs your judgment. If you see a friend under the influence of alcohol - don't let them get behind the wheel.
