Up until last year, New Mexico had the highest number of drunk-driving fatalities in the nation. As a result, the state is coming down hard on people who drink and drive. Weekend and holiday drivers have a good chance of encountering unannounced police checkpoints where officers may test a driver's alcohol level if they suspect drunkenness. Ask the manager or bartender about SafeRide Home. He or she will summon a taxi, which will deliver you safely anywhere in Santa Fe County at no charge.
Some establishments even offer the entire table free snacks.
