Published on March 09, 2023

CANCELED (March 17, 2023) Due to the inclement weather, the Don't Press Your Luck anti-drunk driving event has been canceled. No matter the weather, ACPD reminds you to arrive home safely after drinking--whether it’s by using a ridesharing service, taxi, public transportation, or designated sober driver. The Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP) will continue to offer free Lyft rides from 4:00 p.m. today through 4:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. For more details visit WRAP's webpage.

ARLINGTON, Va. – Although Irish in its roots, St. Patrick’s Day is known to be widely celebrated in the United States. This year, St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday which means more people will be out celebrating, and, unfortunately, some will make the dangerous choice to get behind the wheel after drinking – a choice with potentially deadly consequences for you, your passengers and every other traveler sharing the road with you. If your celebration includes alcohol, it’s essential you plan ahead with a sober ride home. This St. Patrick’s Day, help us spread the message that Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.

According to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 11,654 people were killed in drunk-driving crashes nationwide in 2020. On average, more than 10,000 people were killed each year from 2016 to 2020 — one person was killed in a drunk-driving crash every 45 minutes in 2020. This is why the Arlington County Police Department is working with NHTSA to remind drivers that drunk driving is not only illegal, it is a matter of life and death.
