Municipalities across Wisconsin have implemented anti-drunk driving campaigns in advance of the winter holidays and New Year season. Police departments are encouraging drivers to limit their alcohol intake, have a designated driver in place and know the phone numbers of cab companies that they may utilize if they are left without safe options for getting themselves home. All of these suggestions are useful and may help some individuals avoid dangerous encounters on local roads. However, law enforcement officials will also be out in full force to stop and potentially arrest the drivers they suspect are operating their vehicles while under the influence of alcohol.
