SUPER BOWL SAFETYTeam didn’t make it to the playoffs? That’s okay, there’s always next year. Make sure you live long enough to see it. Always drive sober or find a sober driver. Be a team player by finding a sober ride home after the game. By making the right choice, you’re keeping the roads safe, and that’s even better than a touchdown.

Police don’t throw penalty flags for drunk driving. They throw you in jail.
