New Year’s Eve is a time filled with festivities, indulgences, and most importantly, the cherished tradition of raising a toast to new beginnings. Amidst this crescendo of excitement, there is also an unfortunate phenomenon that reaches its peak — driving under the influence of alcohol.

What drives city folks to engage in drunk driving despite deterrents like awareness programmes, fines and even the threat of imprisonment? Perhaps, something more valuable than the penalties — the fear of leaving behind a prized possession — their vehicle — and heading home.
