For those of you who are unsure what Black Wednesday is referring to, in the urban dictionary it is Thanksgiving Eve. This is the night that everyone either comes home for the holidays to visit friends and family or would rather go out to eat, since they will be cooking all day for their grand thanksgiving meal the next day. Typically, most people have Thanksgiving day off, therefore this is the night that everyone meets up to socialize and reminisce over a few drinks at the local pub.
Thanksgiving Eve has developed over the years to have the reputation of one of the largest drinking days of the year. Bar owners across the country have reported that they have a large increase of alcohol sales this particular night. The police force increases their patrol and even some cities set up DUI checkpoints at designated, typically high traffic locations, specifically just for Black Wednesday.
If you happen to find yourself out on this glorious occasion, please drink responsibly. However, if you find yourself behind a wheel, being pulled over after having a few drinks and are issued a citation for an OVI, please consider checking out our blog “What do Cops Look for When Trying to Find Drunk Drivers?”.
If you are issued a citation and are looking for representation, please don’t hesitate and contact Skip Potter now. We will be happy to assist you!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday!
