For the 9th year in a row, we’re bringing back our Designated Driver scheme – run in partnership with the Department for Transport’s THINK! Drink Drive campaign – which rewards people who volunteer to do the driving over the festive period, while abstaining from alcohol.
Our Designated Driver scheme is how we say thanks to all of you who help your friends and family get home safely during Christmas and New Year's – with a special ‘buy one, get one free’ offer on soft drinks pubs, bars and restaurants all across the country, including many rural locations.

Slightly different in Ireland where drivers can get Two Free Drinks with a voucher downloaded from the Irish site.

Great deal if you live in Ireland where over 1000 pubs and restaurants are taking part. Only 360 pubs taking part elsewhere.

There are no locations near me - and I always drive as I'd rather be in control. Damn annoying that that a watered down coke in these places is almost as expensive as drinking alcohol.

I would sooner drink tap water than this tooth rotting stuff.

All the comments say it's rubbish but the heat rises.
I also think overpriced soft drinks are a very poor incentive. And even at buy one get one free they are still a massive con.
A better offer if you have a named driver would be to get a free coke with every alcoholic drink bought. Then the beer drinker gains nothing but the driver drinks for free

Locations seem considerably reduced from previous years, certainly in my area anyway. Great initiative though.

This... looks pretty poor coverage. I'll be fine if we travel to Weston S Mare for a pint and a fight.

Just drink tap water. Free and healthier than Coke.
