St. Patrick's Day is the first major holiday since the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have eased around the country and the state. Booze It & Lose It was created to increase awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving through education and extensive enforcement. Officials are urging extra caution as many people are expected to gather to drink at restaurants and bars.
