Well, that problem is gone. No more excuses for drinking and driving this Thanksgiving Weekend.

The good folks at Budweiser and AAA have teamed up once again to keep everyone safe between November 26th till 6 a.m. on November  30th .

AAA's Tow To Go program provides FREE towing for you AND your car if you are too drunk to drive. All you have to do is call 1-855-2-TOW-2-GO.

You DO NOT have to be a member of AAA. Just call 1-855-2-TOW-2-GO. It's 100% confidential.

This really is a great program designed to keep everyone safe. Please pass it along.
