Too Much St. Patrick's Fun in Virginia-Highland? Take a Sober Ride Home

You can have fun partaking in St. Patrick's Day events, just call to get a safe ride home.

St. Patrick's Day, for many, has become a time to let loose, wear green and enjoy copious amounts of beer and spirits. While no one would ask you to curtail your fun, nay, debauchery, you should certainly be safe and call a sober ride to get home.

The Governor's Office of Highway Safety has re-launched its "Drive Sober, Georgia" smartphone application and is partnering with TEAM Georgia to ensure revelers find a safe, sober ride home.
