Prom Limo AZ - Important Safety Precautions
Another Prom season is upon us and it happens every year - no matter how much we warn, try to help parent's plan, send contracts to be signed in advance and (hopefully) parents threaten - one bad apple in a group of kids ruins it for everybody by trying to sneak alcohol on board the prom limo or prom party bus.
We don't allow alcohol on-board when everybody in the group is under 21. Period. If it is a mixed group - some people over 21 - some under 21 - we don't play the bouncer or liquor police - if we are pulled over by the police and some minors are caught consuming alcohol - it is the other people in the group that are over 21 that get busted with the "contributing the the delinquency of a minor" charge. Those people's problem - not ours. Since we don't serve the liquor - and some people on board legally purchase it - it is out of our hands.
But when EVERYBODY in the group is under 21 it become our chauffeur who is responsible enforcing the law and rules for the minors on board. Our chauffeurs have CDL licenses - their entire livelihood is dependent upon sniffing out any minors trying to bring vodka in a hairspray bottles, or water bottles, or flasks - we've seen it all.
It is not worth risking their entire livelihood to let some 17 year-old hot-shot get drunk - or even sneak a few drinks. And trust me - it is not that difficult to smell alcohol on people. There is a rumor - which is false - that vodka does not smell when you drink it. They are right - vodka doesn't smell - when it is a bottle with the lid screwed on.
Young people's bodies do not know how to process alcohol the same as more experienced drinkers. That is why you hear so often of kids in college dying from binge drinking at sorority or fraternity parties - their poor little bodies can't process the alcohol fast enough and they lapse into a coma and die. Most of us experience drinkers pass out before we get to that point.
So the minute our chauffeurs suspect alcohol has been consumed - the ride has to be over - parents or police are called and we leave everybody where we are at once we discover the alcohol. Dinner location, Prom location, etc. We cannot be responsible for some child going into an acohol induced coma or seizure while we transport everybody back home. Ride's done - you guys broke the rules. Don't cry to us - good-bye.
We don't want to ruin anybody's night. Our business is to help make people's special events memorable and fun! So please young riders in our Prom limo AZ this season - follow these rules!
