It’s the season of holiday parties and champagne corks popping. But if you’re partying in the city, don’t drink and drive. Washington Regional Alcohol Program and AT&T are offering free cab rides up to $30 for anyone over 21 from now until January 1, 2012.

This is a truly fantastic idea. Plus, from what I understand, they have the ability to act as a switchboard, and can direct you to a taxi company with availability. Continue reading
