This Thanksgiving holiday, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are teaming up with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service’s “Watch UR BAC” program to help make sure people make it to the Thanksgiving table.
With the Thanksgiving holiday kicking off a very merry time of year, it’s essential to take some time to remember that “Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.”
“If your plans to celebrate include alcohol, plan for a sober driver. You may have heard of the popular trend during the Thanksgiving holiday, ‘Blackout Wednesday,’which occurs on the eve of Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, this trend encourages the heavy consumption of alcohol, which is why we’re working hard to keep drunk drivers off the roads,” Sally Garrett, Fayette County Extension agent for family and community health, said.
