During the Alcohol Awareness Month the DUI Task Force is challenging the community to raise their awareness regarding issues pertaining to alcohol. We are asking you to educate yourself and others on:
Safe/Healthy Limits: Zero drinks for those under 21~ One standard sized drink per day for women ~ two standard sized drinks per day for men
Size of a 'standard drink': 12 ounces of beer or wine cooler ~ 8/9 ounces of craft or micro-brews ~ 5 ounces of table wine • 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor
Keep yourself and the community safe. There is NO EXCUSE to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs Richland County has 24/7 public transportation. The task force encourages you to put Sidney Shuttle's number in your cell phone • 433-3636 and remember all alcohol establishments also have their number. Encourage others to ride not drive if they have been drinking.
If you see impaired drivers on our roadways, law enforcement, the task force and your community encourage you to be RADD (Report a Drunk Driver) and call 911.
These are just small changes you can personally make and help others make. These small changes will have an enormous effect on creating a safe and healthy community. For more information contact Mary Sundheim, DUI Task Force Coordinator at the Richland County Health Department 406-433-2207
