They suggest picking a designated driver beforehand.
If you do take your own car and party a little too hard call a friend or family member for a ride, or take a taxi home.
If you're staying in, but know someone who is out to celebrate tomorrow night, here's a reminder you may want to pass along:
- Several services around town are aiming to keep everyone safe this new year.
- Yellow Cab is partnering with several Little Rock bars to give impaired people a lift
Here's how it works: show up to a bar, have a great time, and when you're ready to go give your keys to the bartender, the bartender calls Yellow Cab and you get the first $25 of the ride for free.
Participating bars include:
- Willie D's
- Markham Street Pub
- Hibernia
- Flying Fish
- Crush Wine Bar
- Big Whiskey's
- Satellite Cafe
- Juanita's
- Midtown
- Sidetrack's
- Ernie Bigg's
- Maddie's Place
- Bar Louis
- The Fountain
- Creegens
- Thirst N Howl
- Cajun's Wharf
