Survey: 1 in 3 admit to drunken driving

'Tow to Go' to be offered during Memorial Day Weekend

Over one-third of people – 36 percent – have driven multiple times in the past year after drinking alcohol, according to a recent AAA Consumer Pulse Survey.

“Survey results like this are very disheartening,” said Amy Stracke, executive director of the Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation. “When motorists don’t plan ahead to celebrate safely, they put everyone’s safety at risk.”

The “Tow To Go” program will be available over Memorial Day weekend to provide safe transportation for anyone who finds themselves drinking away from home.

Anyone in Florida or Georgia can call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO (1-855-286-9246) for a ride anytime from Friday until 6 a.m. Tuesday. AAA will take the driver and their vehicle home, or somewhere safe within 10 miles of where they are picked up.
