Wisconsin Targets Drunk Driving This Labor Day | Milwaukee News

Wisconsin’s launching a fierce crackdown on drunk driving this Labor Day weekend, with state and local patrols teaming up for a campaign that runs through September seventh. The message? If you’re impaired, plan your safe ride home before you even hit the road. With one-third of 2025’s traffic deaths tied to drunk driving, officials are doubling down on education and enforcement — urging designated drivers, ride-shares, or public transit as safer alternatives. Impaired convictions can cost up to $10,000 and risk your license, and bystanders are urged to call 9-1-1 if they spot a potential impaired driver. This isn’t just a holiday push — it’s a statewide commitment to saving lives during peak travel times. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
