    [ad_1]

    WESTWOOD — As 2025 comes to a close, AAA Northeast urges those who plan to take part in year-end holiday celebrations to designate a sober driver.

    In December 2023, 1,038 people were killed in drunk-driving crashes nationwide — with more than a quarter of those fatalities occurring during the Christmas and New Year holiday periods according to the latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nighttime driving is significantly more dangerous than daytime driving: 30% of drivers involved in fatal crashes between 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. were drunk.

    College Student Visiting Friend Shocked To Discover Other Schools Have Tradition Where They Drink To Excess

    [ad_1]

    PROVIDENCE, RI—While visiting a hometown friend at Brown University, college sophomore Caleb Martin was reportedly shocked Monday to discover that other schools have traditions where they drink to excess. “It’s as if they stole the idea directly from our own lineage at Tufts, right down to the whole concept of consuming alcoholic beverages to the point of inebriation, and then just claimed it was their own,” said the visibly stunned Martin, shaking his head in disbelief while listing off the eerie similarities to his own school’s cherished rituals of drinking a significant amount of cheap beer and hard liquor over the course of a weekend. “Yes, they drink Hamm’s here, whereas we tend to favor Keystone Light. But the fundamentals are really surprisingly similar. Ultimately, though, it seems like their tradition is just as ingrained as our own, and in fact might date back decades earlier. What an odd coincidence.” Martin added that thankfully his school would always be able to distinguish itself with its unique drinking game, which involved throwing ping-pong balls into red Solo cups.
