Drunk? Hand your keys over to a stranger

The morning after an all-night bender in the Arena District might not feel so good.

There's the hangover that leaves you praying at the feet of the porcelain God, and the Facebook pictures that permanently capture your affinity for dancing on tables shirtless.

But at least you're alive. That part is good. And a new company is hoping to keep it that way.

"We drive your car when you can't" said Cleveland-based BeMyDD owner Arthur Simanovsky, who is opening a Columbus branch of his chauffeur company with his former high school classmate, Alexa Milkovich, Aug. 1. "When we would come back from college it would be expensive to get a cab to go back and forth from the suburbs (in Cleveland) to Downtown. It was convenient to have a designated driver, but no one ever wanted to play that role. It was like rock, paper, scissors to get one of our friends to do it. So, we came up with this solution."

Simanovsky's solution: You provide the car, they provide the driver.
