Ring in the New Year Safely with AAA’s Great Pretenders Party Guide

AAAKnoxville, TN – To help host safe celebrations this New Year’s Eve, the Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation has released a new edition of The Great Pretenders Party Guide.

This guide includes flavorful, nonalcoholic recipes from prestigious AAA Diamond-rated establishments and, most importantly, includes tips for providing a safe, memorable, and responsible environment for your guests.

AAA's Great Pretenders Party Guide

“Party hosts can help their guests avoid the very real danger of impaired driving, “ said Stephanie Milani, Tennessee Public Affairs Director, AAA – The Auto Club Group.

“By planning ahead, there is no excuse for anyone to get behind the wheel while impaired,” stated Milani.

AAA offers these tips to party planners to be first a friend, then a host:

  • As guests RSVP, confirm that one person in each group is prepared to be a non-drinking, designated driver, and present a small gift to each designated driver on the night of the party.
  • Don’t let guests mix their own drinks. Choose a reliable bartender to help keep track of the size and number of drinks that guests consume.
  • Plan activities and party games, such as door-prize drawings. Planned activities encourage people and make for less active consumption of alcohol.
  • Always offer nonalcoholic drinks or “mocktails” for designated drivers and others who prefer not to drink alcohol. Sparkling grape juice is a good alternative to champagne.
