To the Editor:

This St Patrick’s Day, you don’t have to be Irish to don green and hit the streets to celebrate. But don’t depend on luck to end the night safely — planning ahead should be part of your celebration, from the parade to the pub. On March 17th and every day, it’s important to enjoy responsibly.

Even the luckiest four-leaf clover can’t prevent the negative effects of harmful drinking, but these two guidelines can:

*Plan ahead for safe rides

*Hydrate between beers

Responsible drinking has long been a priority for Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners, including Dichello Distributors. Over the past 37 years, together we have invested more than $1 billion in national advertising campaigns and community-based programs to promote alcohol responsibility and prevent drunk driving and other harmful drinking behaviors.

This St Patrick’s Day, we’re asking you to join us. Those who plan ahead and enjoy responsibly will have luck on their side.
