Pease Park
Service Still Available
RECEIVED Sun., July 7, 2013
Dear Editor,
After reading the “Who Says You're Drunk?” article in the last issue of the Chronicle [News, July 5], I noticed the author mentioned two defunct and outdated designated-driving services but failed to include the most popular service that has been open, operational, and profitable since its launch in September 2012, Sober Monkeys. Sober Monkeys has taken hundreds of people and their cars home and continues to keep Austin streets safer. Austinites are able to socialize without being forced to leave their car behind to be towed or have the burden of returning the next day to recover it. Most importantly, no need to risk a drive home intoxicated. Anyone can simply schedule a ride in advance or call on the fly after going to SoberMonkeys.com and becoming a member.
