St. Patrick's Day Safety

Five popular St. Patrick's Day drinks include:  

1. Guinness
2. Jameson
3. Irish Coffee  
4. Green Beer  
5. Green Tea Shots

Will you be partaking in the Irish tradition? Be sure to plan ahead with five simple tips to keep you safe:  

1. Make arrangements on how you will get home BEFORE drinking.
2. If you see someone intoxicated leaving the bar in a vehicle, contact authorities.  
3. Make sure to stay hydrated with water.  
4. Never leave your drink unattended in public areas.  
5. If you are driving home sober, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a driver that may not be.  

While St. Patrick’s Day is filled with fun food, beverages, and outfits, it is also *one of the deadliest holidays on the roads because of the amount of people who drink and drive. Please keep in mind that buzzed driving is drunk driving and to plan ahead if you want to enjoy a green beer or two.
