The American Automobile Association (AAA) runs their holiday Free Tipsy Tow Home service on certain holidays and big events (like Superbowl Sunday and Saint Patrick’s Day) for anyone in Northern California, Nevada, and Utah. If you’re drinking and don’t think you should drive, give them a call.
Write the number down and keep it in your car’s glove box:
800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP)
Just tell the AAA operator, “I need a Tipsy Tow,” and a truck will be on its way.
You don’t have to be a AAA member to call (and neither does your tipsy friend), because the Tipsy Tow program is open to everyone. They offer a free five-mile tow home for drinking drivers and their vehicles, including potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders, and restaurant managers.

You’d have to ask AAA, but I’m guessing if you have a driver’s license you’re old enough to call for a free tipsy tow.
do you have to be 21?
