I don't know how it is in Europe, but here in the United States, they literally have warning labels on cups of coffee reminding you that it's really hot and not to spill it on yourself.
If I had my way, no one would drink any alcohol, but since I'm Just Some Guy On The Internet, all I can say is . . . please be careful, Lens 101 readers. New Year's Eve is coming up and for some reason New Year's Eve=Drunkenness. If you must drink alcohol, don't drive at all. Take a cab, spend the night and sleep it off, or get a ride from someone who hasn't touched the stuff.
Stay safe. I want to hear from you in 2010.

Hello Eyeofthetiger
Yes, Health & Safety is going completely over the top here in Europe and especially the UK. Can't have a real public Xmas Tree because it may fall down, etc!!!!
The beauty of the All Inclusive Resorts I mentioned is that is you want to drink yourself into a coma, you don't need to drive anywhere. So many tragic accidents, lives lost and families wrecked through drinking & driving, especially at this time of the year.
Your 'Cup of Coffee - I'm hot' warning reminds me of the safety sticker reportedly necessary for Food Mixer manufacturers to include - Don't try and lick the food off the blades while the blades are still turning!! I know that manufacturers and employers must cope for the stupid, ignorant or foolhardy individual, but that really does take the biscuit.
But as you say, stay safe everyone, especially at this time of year.
