PHOENIX (AP) - Two groups again will offer a service for New Year's revelers who want to drink but don't want to drive.

The so-called Tipsy Tow service offers drivers and one passenger a free ride home, along with a free tow for their car for up to 10 miles.

For trips longer than 10 miles, drivers will have to pay the towing company's standard rate.

Drivers will not be taken to another drinking establishment or anywhere else but home.

The service will be offered between 6 p.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday.

AAA Arizona and the Beverage Alcohol Community Information Council say they provide the service to prevent alcohol-related traffic deaths.

The groups say that New Year's Day has the highest number of drunk-driving deaths every year.

Anyone interested can call 1-800-AAA-HELP.
