One Drink Too Many

Both ends of California have had an unpleasant welcome to
the holiday season. Northern California dealt with the wind-whipped Kincade
Fire while blowtorch-like winds in Southern California fueled the Maria Fire. I
thank all first responders, like the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, for
fighting on the front lines.

Holiday
gatherings will happen, nevertheless. Some drink for fun or to interact
socially.

Whatever
the reason is, you must take caution. Drinking has dug up many social evils.
One vile act is driving drunk.
