Cinco de Mayo. . . again

As I noted here last year, "Today, Mexicans celebrate the occasion, when, according to legend, three mestizos and a burro drove out several thousand crack French
troops. . ." from their country. As usual, many of those of Mexican heritage will commemorate that occasion by drinking to excess, eating spicy food, and attending cock fights and other manifestations of their "culture." You may wish to whack a pinata in their honor (contents thereof, your choice).

This year, to facilitate the full enjoyment of their festivities, the E-R reports, "AAA of Northern California is offering its program for drinking drivers. . . From 6 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Friday they can call. . . for a free tow home of up to 10 miles." Is that short distance for FREE service discriminatory? When selecting a party venue, can the revelers be sure they will not exceed such an unreasonable restriction? After all, "Drivers don't need to be a (sic) AAA member" (or be a citizen, have a driver's license, or speak English).
