Its common sense that after a long night of drinking that driving off into the night is not the best of ideas, yet sometimes one might not have a designated driver or enough money to pay for a cab.

Dose one try and make the journey home by foot, with the chances of being picked up by the cops or mugged, or dose one try to plan out their escape properly. If not planned properly one might consider the first choice s the best option if they could walk.

Thankfully though there are ways to drive home from the bars without getting your self-killed in an accident or attracting the attention of the cops. It requires some planning and some self-control on the drinker’s part.

The first plan of action should be to make your drive short. It is important that when you have to drive home from the bars that your home is not really far. The shorter the distance the less likely chances you have of getting caught.

Hence it is better to find a bar or entertaining locations that are only 5 minutes away by driving. Plus such a short distance that your familiar with gives you the advantage of knowing all the shortcuts or busy streets.

But it’s important to avoid the highway and expressways. Your drunk and you won’t be able to handle the speed also there are a lot of cops. Using quite neighborhoods were driving slowly is the norm will be smarter.

However before you decide to drive it is better to wait a while before you decide to call it a night and drive off. Don’t pound five bottles or shots and decide to drive. Depending on ones weight it is wise to wait for two hours before driving.

This gives you plenty of time to sober up and piss out all the booze since the longer you wait the more sober your going to look.

It also helps if there is a late night eatery open. Walking to and from an eatery helps kill time while some food will help absorb the alcohol in the body.

Before driving off it would be wise to give yourself a sobriety test. You might be among the few who has a portable Breathalyzer, if not there are other ways. Have a buddy or someone sober give you a field sobriety test or try talking to people and notice if they see you as either sober or drunk.

If your good to drive then its time to go home.

Just remember too drive through quit neighborhoods and streets. Since cops are more likely going to be watching the busy streets or areas with a reputation, its better to avoid those areas then.

Also try to know were all the checkpoints are so may avoid them. This is another good reason why it helps to walk to an eatery.

Following these tips will help you get home safe after a fun night, but keep it as your last option since having a designated driver should always be the first option available.
