Out drinking, don't want to drive, but don't want to leave car?

Oh don't you worry, if you're in Boston and live within 20 miles! These guys will get you home, for a fee. Designated Driver, Inc., started by a couple Bentley College grads, is who you can call from the bar, instead of a cab, when you've had too much to drink. Unlike a cabbie, they'll drive you home in your own car, and another employee will follow to bring your driver back.

Check out this article in the Boston Herald I found via my friend's blog.
