Don't get behind the wheel if you'll be drinking this Fourth of July.

AAA offers its Tow to Go service as a last resort free way home for people without rides. The service will tow your vehicle and bring you home, even if you aren't an AAA customer. 

It is designed as a confidential service for people who did not plan ahead and designate a sober driver, so appointments cannot be booked in advance. The service will take you home and tow your vehicle home or somewhere within 10 miles.
