Sobriety Checkpoints
December 18, 2009 in Scene STL News by SceneSTL
OK I know what you are thinking oh boy here comes some rant either for or against sobriety checks. Well at first glance I suppose it could be easy to be offended by something that does often feel like and invasion of privacy and makes you just feel like you are being held down by “the man”. I also suppose that it would be easy to rail upon the screwy liquor laws in the metropolitan area that in some ways encourage impaired driving by having multiple closing times from west to east.
Whatever you or I might think, the fact is that sobriety checks are here to stay in the STL, and none of our opinions of them matter much when/if a tragic situation occurs. There is one way to avoid such a situation, don’t let yourself or friends get behind the wheel if either of you have had too much to drink. Call a ride! Below is a list of local cab companies that you should call if you and friends need a ride home.
Please take a moment to put a couple of these numbers into your cell, you never know when you might need them. Have fun and party responsibly!
