Safety Tips for Cinco De Mayo
May 5, 2023
Cinco De Mayo, also known as Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, is a massive drinking Holiday so it’s important to be safe on the roads and out in crowds. Here are 5 Safety Tips for Cinco De Mayo.
Do Not Drink and Drive
Clearly, this is the most important message for any day or time. There are many consequences that you and others will face as a result of drinking alcohol and driving. On a major partying holiday like Cinco De Mayo (ie: “Cinco De Drinko”), the roads are already going to be more dangerous and every person that makes this critical mistake is at risk of their personal safety, and at the mercy of Florida Law. Do not drink and drive.
Beware of Your Environment
If you are going out with friends to bars or attending a party, stay alert to potential dangers around you. Overly intoxicated people are often unpredictable and may not be safe to hang out around. Make sure you don’t leave any drinks unattended or out of sight. Stay close to people around you and take extra caution when crossing any roads, especially in crowded areas.
Know Your Limit
It’s important to know your limitations and tolerance when it comes to consuming alcoholic beverages. Becoming heavily intoxicated and attending events or public establishments can be unsafe for yourself and those around you. Water is your friend. Make sure to drink water throughout the night to avoid dehydration.
Plan For a Designation Driver or Ride Service
Planning ahead is a great way to stay safe and avoid situations that put anyone in your party at risk. Select a driver that isn’t going to consume alcoholic beverages and has the safety of their friends at top of mind. This is also a great way to have someone alert to potential hazards throughout the evening. Using a ride service such as Uber or Lyft is also an effective way to avoid riding with anyone intoxicated.
Celebrate At Home
When in doubt, sit it out. The best way to stay safe when celebrating the holidays and having some alcoholic beverages is to plan your night at home. This subverts to chances of exposure to any dangers such as drunk drivers or nefarious intentions. Plus, you don’t have to worry about any of the tips listed above. Just sit back and enjoy the evening in the comfort of your own home.
