A drunk driving buddy system pairs you with a trusted contact who receives an alert if you appear to be driving after drinking. 011.click uses phone numbers and real-time monitoring to help friends stop each other from getting behind the wheel drunk.

What should I do if a friend wants to drive drunk?

Take their keys, stay calm, and offer an alternative — call an Uber, Lyft, or taxi together. If they insist, call 911. You can also add your friend's number to the 011.click buddy system so they get a check-in alert before they drive.

Is AAA Tipsy Tow free?

Yes. AAA Tipsy Tow provides a free tow of up to 10 miles on select holidays for anyone who has been drinking, regardless of AAA membership. Check aaa.com/stop/tipsytow for current availability dates.

What is the best app to use instead of drunk driving?

Uber and Lyft are the fastest options available nearly everywhere. Curb connects you to licensed taxis. For a community safety layer, add your number to the 011.click buddy system so a friend can step in before you make a dangerous decision.

How many deaths does drunk driving cause each year?

Drunk driving kills approximately 13,000 people per year in the United States — about one person every 39 minutes. It is one of the most preventable causes of traffic fatalities.

SAFE RIDE GUIDE

GET HOME
SAFE TONIGHT.

Driving drunk is never worth it. Here are the best ways to get yourself — or someone you know — home safely without getting behind the wheel.

YOUR RIDE OPTIONS

There's always a better option than driving. Pick one.

Uber

Open the Uber app, enter your destination, and a driver will pick you up in minutes. Available 24/7 in most US cities.

Open Uber App

Lyft

Lyft is Uber's top competitor with similar coverage and pricing. Great to have both apps downloaded before a night out.

Curb (Taxi)

Designated Driver

Before you go out, assign a designated driver in your group — someone who commits to staying sober for the night. Rotate the role every time.

Hotel Concierge

If you're too far gone, just stay put. Ask the hotel or venue concierge to call a cab or rideshare for you. They do this all the time.

TIPS FOR A SAFER NIGHT OUT

Plan Before You Drink

Decide how you're getting home before the first drink. Download Uber and Lyft, save a taxi number, or nominate a DD. Don't make the call when you're already impaired.

Charge Your Phone

A dead phone can't call a rideshare. Keep a portable charger in your bag on nights out. It might be the most important thing you bring.

Look Out for Your Friends

If you see someone reaching for their keys after drinking, stop them. Take the keys, call a ride, add them to 011.click. Be the friend who makes the difference.
