On a night of celebration, emergency officials are hoping to avoid tragedy.
Drunk drivers can pose a risk to others especially on nights like New Year’s Eve.
Alberta Transportation spokesperson Donna Babchishin said if you have people over, what you serve could help the cause.
“Lots of food, high protein food, for example, can be a really good thing to serve at a party to slow down the absorption of alcohol and make sure that everyone has a good time and is safe at the end of the night,” said Babchishin.

There are always the options that include a designated driver, Keys Please, Calgary Transit, a cab or even a limo.
The Calgary Parking Authority is offering free street parking for the holiday.
