Beer Institute, in partnership with the National Association of Broadcasters, announced that 59 members of Congress–from both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate–took part in their annual public service announcement campaign urging Americans across the country to drink responsibly during the holiday season.
“Brewers and beer importers are parents and neighbors who want our roads to be safe this holiday season,” said Jim McGreevy, Beer Institute president and CEO. “Members of Congress from across the country and from both sides of the aisle are lending their voices to reduce drunk driving and save lives. Drunk driving is 100% preventable, and we appreciate these lawmakers’ commitment to spreading the message of responsibility in their home states and districts.”
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, drunk-driving fatalities have decreased 51 percent since 1982.
