IT’S PARTY time! Along with the holiday festivities
come holiday parties. ‘The office party. ...Rum and egg-

Family get-togethers. ... Rum and eggnog. This time of
year also brings out the annual Christmas CounterAttack
campaign to keep drinking drivers off the road. An in-
tensified blitz of roadblocks until Jan, 3 is being staged
on the North Shore and other areas of the Lower
Mainland. While most people are aware of the conse-
quences of drinking and driving, (here are still people

who think that a couple of drinks won't hurt, and,
besides that, they'll never get caught. But sooner or later
they will get caught. And they will lose their licence, face
a large fine and maybe even end up in jail. Or worse —
they may injure or kill someone. Doesn't sound very
festive, does it? Don’t be foolish — walk, take a taxi,
catch a bus, or get a ride from a designated driver. Hosts
ure encouraged to provide non-alcoholic drinks to guests.
And friends don't let friends drink and drive. Have a
safe and happy holiday!
