March Madness Has a New Meaning in Michigan
With the NCAA March Madness tournie and St. Patty's Day right around the corner -- take warning when heading out to your favorite watering hole. Starting March 13th through April 3rd, 160 police agencies throughout Michigan will be cracking down on drunk driving.
According to MLive: 'In 2011, 2,215 people were arrested for drunk driving during the NCAA tournament time period; 613 were arrested under the state's high blood-alcohol content (BAC) law with BAC's of .17 or higher.'
Remember to always have a designated driver anytime you want to drink!
