Hi Friend,

As the summer winds down and Labor Day weekend approaches, we hope you are planning some relaxation and fun with family and friends.Labor Day is an opportunity to celebrate the work that you do as a dedicated member of your community, reflect on your hard work, and appreciate those who constantly strive to make our lives better. 

With this weekend marking the unofficial end of summer, the roads may be busier than usual,making it critical to remain vigilant and safe, obeying the rules of the road.

Over the Labor Day holiday weekend in 2022 (most recent data available), 490 people were killed on our nation’s roadways, including 190 people (39%) in drunk driving fatal crashes.



Drunk driving is a choice, and the injuries and fatalities that are the result of these actions are 100% preventable. 

However you are soaking up the last days of summer, please remember to do so safely, responsibly, and using these tips:

If you are heading out this weekend and alcohol is being served, plan for a safe ride home. Schedule a rideshare in advance, appoint a designated driver, volunteer to be the designated driver, or take public transportation. In addition to making plans for yourself, don’tlet impaired friends get behind the wheel, either.

Before your first sip, download and use the Virtual Bar <[link removed]> to understand how alcohol will affect your BAC.

Not every drink contains the same amount of alcohol, so make sure you know how much you’re drinking. A standard drink—whether it’s a 12 oz beer, a cocktail containing 1.5 oz of spirits, or a 5 oz glass of wine—contains the same amount of alcohol.

Parents, emphasize the importance of safety to your teen drivers. Always model responsible behaviors, and talk to them about values, expectations and ways to stay safe. And don't give underage drinking an excuse. Never supply alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age. It's illegal, unsafe, and irresponsible. 

Thank you for being committed to ending drunk driving this summer and beyond.  From all of us at Responsibility.org <[link removed]>, have a relaxing and rewarding Labor Day! And for all those who do not have this day off, thank you for all you do to keep our nation moving forward.
