Had a few (too many)? Take Nez Rouge home this holiday season.

Watch Emily Brass's report on Nez Rouge at the top of this page.

With plenty of opportunities to have a few too many drinks, the holidays can be a dangerous time on the road.

As CBC Montreal reporter Emily Brass found out, Montrealers like to imbibe over the holidays — and that's why Nez Rouge exists.

If you've had a few too many, or are too tired to drive, Nez Rouge will drive you and your car home for free. It gives any and all donations to CEGEP Vieux-Montreal where the seasonal operation is based.

Nez Rouge operates from Nov. 29 right through to Jan. 1.
