All I want for Christmas… is not to hear about another drink and drive related death over the festive season.
For the past three years Coca-Cola have run the Designated Driver campaign which encourages people to make sure there is a designated driver who doesn’t drink and can be responsible for getting people home safe. Being a DD is such an important job, so Coca-Cola think this should be rewarded. At over 9,000 pubs in the UK your designated driver can get a Coke or Diet Coke free when they buy one, two for the price of one basically.
I have lots of facts and figures that I can share with you about this campaign but I won’t, the information is here, on the Coca-Cola website for you if you want to have a read. My message to you is simple, please don’t take the risk this Christmas. Enjoy the festive season, celebrate and support your designated driver by choosing where possible, pubs that run the designated driver scheme.
It’s the designated driver that will get people home this Christmas, safe and well, ensuring that they can have a guilt free Xmas, knowing that no-one else has been hurt as a result of poor judgement after someone has got into a car after having an alcoholic drink. It’s the designated driver that will stop countless Christmas days being spoiled because a loved one has been hurt or killed.
Dark thoughts aside this really is a great campaign. Click through to find the pubs near you that are taking part and support your designated driver. As the campaign is nationwide, many others can benefit so please pass the information on.
Have a great (and safe Christmas) all.
