Holidays can lead to increased DUI numbers

“HARDIN COUNTY – Statistics show the frequency of summertime drunken driving arrests and incidents surpasses that around the holidays, but police still are warning partiers and motorists to use their heads when going to, and returning from, Christmas and New Year’s Eve get-togethers.

With alcohol accessibility at many holiday parties and family celebrations, Kentucky State Police Sgt. Tom Walsh said patrol officers often hear a similar response from motorists stopped for a sobriety check.

“They’ll say they had a few,” Walsh said. “When I hear, ‘a few,’ that usually means they’ve had more than three.”
