To the Editor:

St Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with head-to-toe green and an ice-cold beer in hand. But before you step out in search of four-leaf clovers, remember that you can’t rely on the luck of the Irish to get home safely.

If your plans involve stopping by a pub or two, make sure to be a responsible friend — hydrate and plan ahead for safe rides to and from the festivities. Whether you designate a driver, use a ride-share service, or take public transportation, make safety your number one priority.

This St Patrick’s Day leave the mischief to the leprechauns. Binge drinking and drunk driving are 100 percent preventable, and we invite you to join us in prioritizing safety and remembering to enjoy responsibly and Drink Wiser.

Wishing everyone a fun and safe St Patrick’s Day!

Cheers,
