Midnight Muncheez & Hopefully Keeping Drunks Off the Road


It's the first thing many partiers think of after a night of drinking - finding a good place for a late night bite to eat, after all drinking alcohol leads to a "snack attack". Too often that means driving when you are too buzzed or drunk to be on the road.

Now a California business called "Midnight Muncheez" is offering a late night delivery service as a better option. They deliver food, beverages, party supplies and even toiletries, which I find a little strange. Why? In an effort to curb the number of drunk drivers in that community. Last year, there were 1,562 DUI arrests made in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, that's compared to 3,216 in Erie County in 2006. The Newport Beach Police Department supports the mission of the company. As they should, both the police and Midnight Muncheez are trying to keep the drunks off the road.

I think it's a great idea - and something a local business owner here should look into. There are certain areas of the city where it would be a huge success - around the local college campuses for example - Buff State, the Elmwood Avenue area, or even UB South campus - around Main Street. My mission is to keep the drunks off the road, and if that means feeding them by bringing food to their apartments or homes, then I'm all for it.
