Posted on November 2016    

Over the course of 20 years, North Carolina’s Booze It and Lose It campaign has taken over 1.5 million drunk drivers off our roads. Unfortunately, over 8,000 North Carolinians have still lost their lives to drunk drivers in that time.

The best way to prevent DUIs in our state and around the country is by educating the public and raising awareness about the facts surrounding drunk driving.
