Hot dogs, cold beer and fireworks sound like a traditional all American 4th of July celebration and that's exactly right. Statistics show 252 million pounds of fireworks are sold for personal use and 150 million hotdogs are consumed each 4th of July. With 87% of American households owning their own grill, many of us will choose to celebrate at home but some will travel to visit with friends and family. If your plans include travel, keep in mind that drunk driving enforcement is typically greater over holiday weekends and that in 2009 Fourth of July drunk driving accidents accounted for 410 deaths nationwide.
Travel safely, choose a designated driver and pack alcohol away while traveling. If you find yourself facing drunk driving charges following the holiday weekend, call the office of Attorney Erwin F. Meiers, III.
Happy 4th of July!
