Don’t Drink and Drive This St. Patty’s Day

How to avoid drinking and driving this St. Patty's Day/

With the St. Patrick’s Day parade taking place this Sunday in South Boston, Boston’s most notoriously Irish hub, we here at C&S Insurance wanted to tell you about the best way to ensure that you will not drink and drive this weekend

Over half of all consumers believe that they drink more alcohol on St. Patty’s Day than any other holiday.  Therefore,  AAA and Budweiser have teamed up for the “Tow to Go” program which offers a confidential tow and ride home, completely free of charge, between tomorrow and Sunday.  The best part about this? You don’t have to be a AAA member to take part in this program.  Just call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246. 

The program brings attention to the many dangers of drunk driving and due to the fact that the holiday falls on a weekend makes many people weary of the fact that the celebrations will continue for numerous days, versus only one.

Since the program’s inception, there have been 22,000 less drunk drivers on the roads and saving hundreds of thousands of other people’s lives as a result.  Therefore, be part of this statistic and call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246 this weekend if you feel like you are unable to drive your vehicle.
