Decide to Ride on Thanksgiving

Dear Editor,

It’s almost turkey day, and with the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaching, preparations are well underway. Turkeys have been bought, beer has been stocked, and loved ones are traveling from near and far to gather for the holiday.

As you prepare your feast, it’s important to remember a safe ride home belongs on every Thanksgiving menu. If you plan on sharing a drink with loved ones or visiting your local bar, leave the keys behind and plan ahead for a safe ride home. 

Over the last 35 years, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners have invested more than $1 billion in responsible drinking initiatives and community-based programs to prevent underage drinking, impaired driving, and other harmful uses of alcohol. As the 2024 holiday season begins, all of us at G&M Distributors and Anheuser-Busch want to remind everyone to Decide to Ride after drinking.

Drunk driving is 100 percent preventable and together we can do our best to keep our loved ones safe. We are thankful for your continued support. 

Sincerely, 

Mary Adolphson
