On St. Patrick's Day, Wednesday, March 17, the Sacramento Police Department DUI enforcement team will partner with the CHP and other law enforcement agencies to substantially increase patrols throughout the city. Anyone considering drinking alcohol on St. Patrick's Day should take these preventive measures:
- Pick your designated driver before you begin celebrating
- Put the local taxi company's number in your cell phone
- If you have an iPhone, load one of the many apps that will help you find a cab
- Hire a limo for the evening
- Go to a restaurant or bar within walking distance of your home
- Associate only with people who will look out for you
