Don't Drink and Drive

In 2020, there were 67 DUIs in Sublette County (arrests for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol). So far in 2021, there have been 19, which is a significant increase from the rate in 2020. The average Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) for 2021 has been .18, up from the 2020 average of .14. Law enforcement personnel are encouraging the public to be more aware of the concerns with drinking and driving and to drink responsibly.

Tips for Responsible Drinking
1. Don’t drink and drive
2. Plan ahead for transportation. Appoint a designated driver if you are going out to social drink.
3. Know your limit for alcoholic beverages.
4. Eat food before and while you drink.

If alcohol excess is due to stresses or other issues, help is available through local family counseling groups and AA meetings. Contact Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 412 North Tyler Ave in Pinedale, for the current meeting schedule. Melody, 307-371-9414.
