Alert Cab Offers Free Cab Rides for Adults Celebrating New Year's Eve

As adults head out to celebrate New Year's Eve, they can "do the ride thing" by taking advantage of a free program that can help keep Galesburg streets safe. G & M Distributors, Dennis Twitty State Farm Insurance, Checker Cab, WGIL, FM95, 92.7 The LASER, and 105.3 KFM are sponsoring Alert Cab, a community-based initiative that helps prevent drunk driving by providing safe cab rides home to adults who may have had too much to drink. On Monday, December 31, from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., area bartenders and servers at participating bars and restaurants have a phone number they may use to request a free cab ride (within Galesburg city limits) for adults who want to get home safely at the end of the evening. By offering complimentary rides home, Alert Cab keeps potential drunk drivers off the road. "We want all adults who choose to drink, regardless of the occasion, to act responsibly," said Adam Vitale, General Manager of G & M Distributors. "That means if you include alcohol in your celebrations, please plan ahead and arrange to use alternate transportation, such as Alert Cab, or a designated driver to get home safely." Thanks in part to programs such as Alert Cab and increased law enforcement, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers are making progress in the fight against drunk driving. The latest government data shows that drunk-driving fatalities fell to their lowest level since alcohol record-keeping began in 1982 (52 percent decline from 1982 to 2010).* For more information on Anheuser-Busch's responsible drinking efforts, visit http://www.anheuser-busch.com/
