🚨 Through Sunday, law enforcement agencies across the state are participating in the “Booze It & Lose It” campaign from the N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety Program (GHSP). The campaign, centered around St. Patrick’s Day, targets impaired drivers. In 2025, the initiative resulted in 738 tickets for driving while intoxicated. “Our message is simple: if you plan to drink, then plan accordingly for a sober ride home. Otherwise, you could face serious consequences,” GHSP Director Mark Ezzell said in a prepared statement.
