Thirteen million pints of Guinness will be consumed worldwide on St. Patrick's Day, and with West Michigan's track record -- quite a few of those may be consumed here in our backyard.
It's America's favorite Irish holiday, and Michigan State Police would also like to make it the safest.
Determine your designated driver ahead of time and do not drive drunk.
“We encourage everyone to celebrate safely this St. Patrick’s Day,” said Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the MSP. “As always, our troopers are taking a zero tolerance approach to those who choose to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Plan ahead and designate a sober driver.”
Also, a whopping $5.9 billion is estimated to be spent on the holiday, so maybe also designate someone to hold your wallet.
