No one wants to spend the new year in the back of an ambulance.
THINK before you drink is the resounding message from Ambulance Tasmania chief Dominic Morgan as the state prepares to ring in 2013.
Mr Morgan said ending up in the back of an ambulance was never the ideal end to an otherwise fun night.
"So many accidents that happen over the summer festive period are preventable," he said in a statement.
"By planning in advance, many people can not only have a fun night but a safe night as well.
"Much of the ambulance workload, especially on New Year's Eve, involves alcohol-related illness or injury -- whether it be falls, excessive consumption or accidents on the road.
"I particularly urge Tasmanians not to mix drinking and driving -- the potential consequences are too high and entirely preventable.
"It's easy to have a discussion about a designated driver or taxi in advance.
"It's also important to drink plenty of water when consuming alcohol and try to alternate drinks with something non-alcoholic. Eating regularly is also a good idea.
"Our message to the Tasmanian public is have a happy New Year and hopefully one that happens without a hitch or the need for paramedics."
Mr Morgan also reminded the public that calling 000 should be reserved for true emergencies.
The latest figures from the Tasmania Police festive road blitz show 67 motorists have been picked up for drink driving since December 23, with another 20 testing positive for drugs.
