• Stop serving alcohol to your guests several hours before the party ends.

If you are attending New Year's Eve parties and celebrations:

• If you drink, don't drive.
Plan ahead and always designate a sober driver before the party or celebration begins.
If you are impaired, call a taxi, use mass transit, or get a sober friend or family member to come pick you up.
Or, stay where you are until you are sober.
• Take the keys from someone if you think he/she is too impaired to drive.

Ginger Thai: Spicy and Sweet Fare

Next time you're tired after a long day at work and don't feel like cooking dinner, why not let Ginger Thai do the cooking for you?
