Dear Editor
Each Memorial Day, Americans honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. It's a day for solemn remembrance and celebration as friends and family gather to raise a glass to their legacies and lasting impact on future generations. From all of us at G&M Distributors and Anheuser-Busch, we salute these American heroes and want to encourage all consumers to be mindful of public safety if plans involve drinking over the long weekend.
Due to the warmer weather and federal holiday closures, trends show that travel tends to skyrocket over the long weekend, making this an especially busy time on the roads for families. So, whatever plans you have in store, if you're out drinking, remember to have a plan in place for how you and your friends will get home safely. There's never an excuse to put lives at risk by driving while intoxicated, and the best approach is to always plan ahead to Decide to Ride before taking the first sip.
Over the last 35 years, Anheuser-Busch and its network of independent wholesaler partners have invested more than $1 billion in community based programs and initiatives to prevent underage drinking, impaired driving, and other harmful uses of alcohol. All of us at G&M are once again teaming up with Anheuser-Busch and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to encourage everyone to Decide to Ride by planning ahead for a safe ride home if you are drinking.
Thank you for helping share this important message. We wish you a safe and memorable Memorial Day.
Sincerely,
Mary Adolphson
