Police and venues warn against getting behind the wheel after a night out
Residents are being warned to think about their actions and plan ahead in the build up to the festive period.
The Isle of Man Constabulary has released a video statement which says driving under the influence will ruin more than just Christmas.
Venues similarly are urging residents to be responsible when going out and under no circumstances to get behind the wheel whilst under the influence.
