Celebrate the Fourth of July Safely - Designate a Driver

This Fourth of July, Americans will toast the country's independence with friends, family and fireworks. Before celebrations get underway, G&M Distributors, Inc. reminds adults 21 and older to show their patriotism by designating a driver or skipper to help keep everyone safe. By doing so, they'll join the millions of American adults who have been a designated driver or designated skipper or been driven home by one.

Here are additional tips for safer celebrations during the holiday:

1. Buckle Up. Ask everyone to wear a seat belt or a life jacket.
2. Be an Attentive Driver. Always be in control and aware of those around you.
3. Don't Speed. Resist the urge to speed by making sure there's plenty of time to reach your destination.
4. Drink Responsibly. Adults 21 and older who choose to drink should make responsible choices about when, where and how much.

We can all do our part to make sure everyone has a fun and safe holiday.
