parisian party

What’s the best way to put a damper on a night out before it’s even started? Why, drawing the “designated driver” card, of course. Which in fact, typically means a lose-lose situation for everyone involved. On one hand, you have the driver who spends his whole night with one eye on the clock and the other on his partner who is growing increasingly louder and decidedly less funny as the evening wears on. And on the other hand, you have the designated drinker, who’s left with “ye ole stick in the mud” who was ready to partir at 11:00PM after spending an hour sipping on a demi of warm Panaché. In the end, it’s the hostess who’s the real loser- she’s left frazzled and exhausted after having spent the evening running interference between a dozen half-drunk, bickering couples. Next time she should call “Back and Safe“.

“Back and Safe” is a Paris-area service that can be hired to drive your tipsy guests back home, thereby releasing the designated drivers of their responsibilities, and allowing everyone to partake in the festivities. Once hired, “Back and Safe” will set up a stand at your event, and offer breathalyser tests to the guest(s) in question. If it’s found that the guest indeed should not be driving, the Back and Safe driver will take the guests car keys, toss their nifty little fold-up “Back and Safe” scooter into the trunk of the guests car, drive them home, hop on the scooter and come back to your party for the next tippler! It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved- and a great way to drink and host responsibly. For more information, and a handy demo video, be sure to check out the Back and Safe website.
