To the Editor:

The holidays are a time to surround yourself with family and friends, eat seasonal treats, and toast to what's to come.

If you choose to celebrate the holidays with a "cheers," always remember to drink responsibly and plan ahead to use a ride share service, designated driver, or public transportation to get to and from your destination safely.

Drunk driving is 100 percent preventable and it's up to you to do your part this holiday season to keep our roads safe. That's why we're joining Budweiser to celebrate the holidays by reminding everyone to plan ahead for a safe ride home from his or her holiday celebrations.

Over the past 35 years, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners have invested more than $1 billion in the United States to promote alcohol responsibility and reduce drunk driving, and we are looking forward to continuing this effort through 2018 and beyond.

From everyone at Dichello Distributors, we wish you a happy and safe holiday season!
