People love to dress up in green for St. Patrick's Day, but the holiday is also known for its partying. In order to thwart drunk driving on Wednesday, the Lincoln Council on Alcoholism and Drugs has committed to paying for 100 cab rides home for people who have been drinking.

LCAD says the average cab ride costs $15, so they had to raise $1,500 through public donations and money from local companies.

LCAD is also educating the public on safer celebrating through radio promotion via their website. To learn more, click on the link below.
