Booze It & Lose It campaign

Fayetteville Observer posted 21 AUG 09
The Labor Day "Booze It & Lose It'' campaign begins today and continues through Sept. 7.
The campaign marks the 15th anniversary of the effort to crack down on impaired drivers.
"Under no circumstance is drinking and driving acceptable in North Carolina," Gov. Bev Perdue said in a release. "For 15 years, the 'Booze It & Lose It' initiative has played a critical role in protecting our citizens by educating the public and cracking down on impaired driving. We'll keep using this life-saving campaign as a tool to enforce our state's anti-drinking and driving laws."
Last year in North Carolina, there were 11,968 alcohol-related crashes resulting in 433 fatalities and 9,263 injuries.
The initiative, which began in 1994, targets impaired drivers with innovative and extensive anti-driving while impaired enforcement and education.
Since 1994, law enforcement agencies have conducted more than 194,000 checkpoints and patrols resulting in more than 103,000 driving while impaired citations.
Additional checkpoints and patrols will be conducted across the state throughout the campaign.
