Marge Lee, of the group Dedicated, said people should plan ahead of time how they are going to get home if they are going to a Memorial Day party.
"A lot of times when I have a party, there'll be one or two people that are the designated drivers, and we'll collect the keys," she said. "If there's going to be heavy-duty drinking going on, people automatically give us the keys, and they'll say, 'Give me a ride home later.' Part of the planning should be how you are going to get home safely, or get the people you love home safely."
