Xmas holiday safety

With the holidays upon us, I would like to share a personal experience with you all about drinking and driving after a "social session" with friends.
This past Saturday, we were out on a pre-Christmas evening with long-lost friends.  I had a few cocktails, followed by a handful of glasses of vintage red wine.  Despite the jolliness, I still had the sense to know that I was over the limit.  That's when I decided to do what I have never done before: I took a cab home.

Sure enough, there was a police road block on the road but, since it was a cab, they waved us past.  We arrived home safely without incident. This was both a great relief and surprise because I had never driven a cab before.  I don't even know where I got it from and, now that it is in my garage, I don't know what to do with it!
