To the Editor:

The countdown to kickoff has begun! Football fans everywhere are coming together to watch one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. And of course, this beloved American tradition isn’t complete without a winning lineup of game day snacks and a few cold beers with friends and family. Anheuser-Busch and Dichello Distributors Inc are honored to be a part of these moments and are committed to helping ensure that communities celebrate safely.

If you’re planning to enjoy a beer or two, make sure you also plan for a way to get home safely. Remember, drunk driving is never the right call and when it comes to keeping our roads safe — we’re all on the same team.

Over the last 37 years, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners have invested more than $1 billion in responsible drinking initiatives and community-based programs to prevent underage drinking, impaired driving and other harmful uses of alcohol. All of us at Dichello Distributors are once again teaming up with Anheuser-Busch, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Uber to encourage everyone to Decide To Ride by planning ahead for a safe ride if you are drinking. You can’t drive drunk if you leave your keys at home, and by focusing on planning ahead, it makes it easier for you to make smart decisions at the end of the night.

So whether you’re an avid football fan or just there for the snacks and commercials, we can all work together to put an end to drunk driving — once and for all. No matter who you’re cheering for in the big game, thank you for helping us end the night with a win. Cheers!
