Holiday reminder—please don’t drink and drive

I hope everyone gets to enjoy this holiday season by spending quality time with family and friends.

For some adults, this may involve the consumption of alcohol. If you do have a few drinks, please use good judgment when it comes to operating a vehicle or letting someone else do the driving.

One sure way to ruin your or someone else’s holiday season is to get involved in an accident while drunk driving.

The potential consequences are not worth the risk. Please don’t drink and drive. Happy Holidays to all!
