Over the course of two decades, America's restaurants and tavern owners
have worked hand in hand with safety advocates to reduce the very real
problem of drunk driving. Responsible adults now know that if they cannot
drive safelyfor any reasonthey should not get behind the wheel.
But some anti-alcohol activists are seeking increasingly harsh restrictions on social drinkers.
This can be evidenced in the transition from the common sense "Don't drive drunk" message
to the similar-sounding but entirely different "Don't drink and drive" slogan.
The American Beverage Institute is correcting this prohibitive message
with a more appropriate message: Drink Responsibly. Drive Responsibly. This message recognizes the millions of Americans who responsibly consume
adult beverages at a restaurant, a tavern, or a friend's house before
safely driving homeand encourages everyone to drink responsibly
and drive responsibly.
Join us in our campaign against drunk driving and in support of Americans
who drink responsibly and drive responsibly by incorporating this message
and logo into your promotional materials.
