Drunk Driving on New Year's Eve

By: Liz Gonzales

Updated: December 29, 2012

But before drinking that glass of champagne and getting in the car, there are few things for you to know.

New Years Day consistently ranks as the year's deadliest day for alcohol-related fatalities. According to AAA, most drivers who choose to get behind the wheel don't think they've had too much to drink. Yet, after a 6 pack of beer, drivers have a 44% chance to get in an accident.

And if you don't think you'll get caught, think again. More than 2/3 of DUI convictions are first time offenders.

Local authorities say they will have increased patrols out on the roads for the holiday.
