Tow to Go offers free rides home from Fourth of July parties

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.
