Happy Valentine’s Day.  As you head out today to pick up some treats for your sweetie or maybe to a romantic dinner, don’t forget to play it safe.  Valentine’s Day can be a dangerous time for drinking and driving, as most wines have a relatively high alcoholic content.  If you want to drink, call a cab.  It may save your life! 

According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, about three in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives.  In 2006, an estimated 17,602 people died in alcohol-related traffic crashes—an average of one every 30 minutes. These deaths constitute 41 percent of the 42,642 total traffic fatalities. Of these, an estimated 13,470 involved a driver with an illegal BAC (.08 or greater). 

Take care of the people you love and be responsible. 
Safe Travels,
