Biggest Bar Night Of The Year: How To Get A Free Ride Home

METRO DETROIT, MI — Thanksgiving is tomorrow but there’s a special occasion Wednesday that many people like to get in on: the biggest bar night of the year.

The drinking festivities will be abundant around metro Detroit tonight and one local law firm is doing what it can to keep locals safe this time of year. They are offering free rides home from the bar Wednesday.

The Christensen Law firm in Southfield will pay for free rides home from the bar through its "Safe Ride Home" program, now in its third year, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Here’s how it works:

• The offer is good from 4 p.m. on Wednesday through 4 a.m. Thursday for persons age 21 and up.
• Maximum reimbursement is $35, good for a one-way ride to your home. Offer cannot be combined.
• Receipts must be received by Christensen Law by midnight, Sunday.
• Ride must be within Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw, Genesee, Bay and Kent counties.
• Provider of ride must be a licensed taxi company, Uber or Lyft.
• Email a copy of the official taxi company, Uber or Lyft receipt along with a copy of your valid driver’s license to: saferidehome@davidchristensenlaw.com or send those materials via U.S. mail to: Christensen Law Safe Ride Home, 25925 Telegraph Rd., Suite 200, Southfield, MI 48033. Materials must be received by midnight Sunday, Nov. 25.

Michigan State Police are reportedly launching high visibility patrols starting Wednesday and lasting through Sunday for Thanksgiving holiday. Troopers will be on the lookout for drunk drivers, motorists without seat belts, careless drivers and speeders.
