To the Editor:

While this year may not bring the usual crowded office parties or ugly sweater contests, Americans will continue to find new ways to celebrate loved ones near and far in the months ahead. If you plan to toast the season at home or with a small group of friends and family, be sure to keep your community safe by drinking responsibly.

It’s true — nothing quite says the holidays like enjoying a frosty Bud with those you hold dear. If you plan to have a drink or two, make sure to stay hydrated and plan ahead for a safe ride home. Whether you designate a driver, call a rideshare service, or take public transportation, the important thing is that you — and those in your community — make it home safely.

As a local beer distributor, Dichello Distributors, Inc, is working alongside Anheuser-Busch to ensure that safety is the number one priority for this holiday season.

Binge drinking and drunk driving are 100 percent preventable, so join us in staying off the naughty list. Do your part to keep our community safe this year and remember to “Drink Wiser.”

Wishing you a holiday season that is safe, merry, and bright.
