Make this St. Patrick’s Day more about St. Paddy and less about the paddy wagon. If you’ve been drinking on St. Patrick’s Day, AAA Northern California will take you and your car home for free.

AAA’s Tipsy Tow program is open to everyone. You do not need to be a AAA member to take advantage of this service to the community.

AAA will offer the service to drinking drivers from 6 p.m. on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th to 6 a.m. March 18th, potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders, and restaurant managers can call 800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP) for a free tow home of up to ten miles. Just tell the AAA operator, “I need a Tipsy Tow,” and a truck will be on its way.

Brace yourself for a sugar rush and brain freeze!

July 11th marks the 9th annual "7-Eleven Day!"

So, the convenience store chain plans to give away 5 million free Slurpees to customers.

Each free drink will come in a 7.11-oz. cup.

You can enjoy some of the 26 flavors on the market-- from Fanta and Pepsi to Alienade (strawberry-raspberry lemonade) or the Blue Lightning Blast-- a raspberry-tangerine combo meant to turn your tongue blue.

And for those who experience brain freeze, 7-Eleven has some advice: Just press your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
