Sarnia police are urging motorists to "arrive alive" by driving responsibly for New Year's Eve.
Constable Mark Berger has calculated all fees involved, which totals over $25,000.
He says the first fee is for towing the vehicle, and the cost for a week-long vehicle impoundment.
"Your license is suspended on the Administrator Drivers License Suspension program and that's a 90-day ADLS suspension. So right off the get go, before court, before anything, your license is gone for 90 days," he says.
If convicted, the minimum fine is $1,000 and a one year license suspension.
Insurance fees could jump by about $6,000 a year for three years, and if they so choose, drunk drivers could pay up to $10,000 in lawyers fees.
Options instead of drinking and driving include taking a cab, arranging for a designated driver, or taking Sarnia Transit.
