To the Editor:

On March 17 Americans from coast-to-coast will don shamrock green and celebrate one of the biggest parties of the year - St Patrick's Day. If you're over the legal drinking age, we're asking you to stay under the limit and do your part to prevent drunk driving.

That's why we're joining Anheuser-Busch and asking pubgoers to get home safe no matter where the night takes you. Over the past 30 years, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners have invested more than $1 billion in the United States to promote alcohol responsibility and help prevent drunk driving.

When you're making plans for this St Patrick's Day, think ahead to the end of the night and make the choice that keeps both you and the roads safe for everyone. Please use a designated driver, a taxi, ride-sharing service, or public transportation if you've been celebrating with alcohol.

From everyone at Dichello Distributors, have a happy and safe St Patrick's Day!
