At the moment the Tipsy Tow program is not rolled out completely nationwide, but is limited to certain states and regions.
The AAA has described the program stating, "As millions of Americans celebrate holidays and events this year, it is important to remember the safety precautions drivers should take during any festivities.
"Drive only while drug and alcohol-free, pick a designated driver for the evening, plan to take a cab or stay with a friend."
It adds, "While not a nationwide program, a number of AAA clubs offer Tow-to-Go or Tipsy Tow service during certain holidays for members and nonmembers. This service is not available everywhere. Better yet - encourage family and friends to pick a designated driver before they head out for the night."
