Many of you will down a Corona or margarita, or two, today to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Just remember AAA Northern California is offering free tows to drivers who drink too much while celebrating Cinco de Mayo. The free tow, which is valid within 10 miles of the driver's home, is offered between 6 p.m. Tuesday evening and 6 a.m. Friday.


Drivers may call 800-AAA-HELP and tell the AAA operator,"I need a tipsy tow."

Additional passengers will be taken to the driver's home as long as there is room for them to be transported safely in the tow truck, AAA is not accepting reservations for the free rides.
