Tickets for this year’s 140th running of
the Preakness are already sold
out. After last year’s record attendance
of more than 123,000 people, it is expected that this year’s attendance will be
close to that number. For many people
who attend Preakness, it is one big party with an excuse to drink a lot of
beer, Black Eyed Susans, or any other type of alcoholic beverage for an entire
day. Many people even start consuming
alcohol early in the morning on Preakness Saturday and do not stop until after
the race is finished. The worst decision
a person could make is to get in their car and drive home. Unfortunately, there will always be some
people that choose to do that and someone could lose their life because of
it. If you are attending this year’s
Preakness, plan ahead and arrange for a designated driver, an Uber, a Lyft, or a cab to take you
home after the race. Because of the
excessive amount of alcohol that will be consumed at Preakness, police are sure
to be extra cautious and increase patrols to catch those driving under the influence. Be smart and do not drink and drive.

driving tomorrow and are charged with DUI, call our attorneys for a free consultation. Our Maryland DUI attorneys handle drunk
driving-related cases every day and have achieved numerous favorable outcomes

If you have been arrested for a DUI/DWI it is important that you consult
an experienced DUI attorney immediately because DUI is a criminal offense and
carries potentially severe penalties. An experienced attorney can guide
you through the court process and find any possible defenses that can either
mitigate the penalties in the case, or in some instances, lead to an acquittal
or dismissal.
