I've been seriously contemplating calling the radio station that I listen to an express my feelings about them glorifying drinking alcohol beginning at 7am today. Alcoholism is a HUGE problem through all ages, races, religious, socio-economic groups, etc. To promote all day drinking is hugely irresponsible!
And so, I've written an 'open letter' to everyone that I hold dear and, to everyone that I've never met...
**************************************
To all my dear friends and family that think in order to "celebrate" St. Patrick's Day you must drink green beer and Irish Whiskey, I have a news flash for you,
NO YOU DON'T!
However, if you do, PLEASE humor me and do NOT drink and drive or, be a passenger in a car of another who has been drinking. It's just not worth it!
Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) reports that today is one of the deadliest days of the year for drunk driving accidents. Whether or not their statistics are correct, let's be serious, if you begin your day at 7am drinking ANY color of beer, chances are, there are gonna be a ton of hungover folks waking up in jail. I pray it's not you because you've killed someone while driving drunk!
Please remember, even if I haven't seen you or talked to you in a while, I love you and would cry at your funeral or at your sentencing!!
