Meanwhile, the Milwaukee County Tavern League is offering the SafeRide program, a free transportation alternative that is offered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at participating establishments.

If a person is unsure whether to drive after celebrating St. Patrick's Day, all they need do is ask a server or other wait staff for a SafeRide. A transportation service will be called, and the customer provided a $25 voucher to pay for the ride home. There are no questions or complications.
