'Booze it and lose it' crackdown through Sept. 7

While you're at it, don't forget to "Click it or ticket." Wait. Don't forget to click it or get a ticket.

Listen, just be careful and stay safe, OK? A taxicab will cost you much, much less than a DUI, an emergency room visit or a funeral.

From Gov. Perdue's office:

“Under no circumstance is drinking and driving acceptable in North Carolina,” said Perdue. “For 15 years, the ‘Booze It & Lose It’ initiative has played a critical role in protecting our citizens by educating the public and cracking down on impaired driving. We’ll keep using this life-saving campaign as a tool to enforce our state’s anti-drinking and driving laws.”

In North Carolina in 2008, there were 11,968 alcohol-related crashes resulting in 433 fatalities and 9,263 injuries.
