Well the good news is that here in SD the number of DD arrests have dropped. We stay home during the holidays primarily to avoid the risk of encountering a DD. I used to be a bartender and can guarantee that the roads are filled with drunk drivers.

SAN DIEGO — California Highway Patrol officers had a harder time finding drunken drivers during this Christmas holiday, likely due to the rain that kept many people off the roads.
From 6 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Friday, officers nabbed 17 drivers for DUI in San Diego County, compared to 76 drivers during the same period last year.
The trend was similar statewide, with 409 arrests this year compared to 973 last year.
During the same reporting period, there have been 11 traffic fatalities in the state in areas covered by the CHP. None of them occurred in San Diego County.
The CHP's maximum DUI enforcement will continue through the weekend, ending Sunday at midnight.
