As we head into a jam-packed three-day weekend of July 4th patriotic fun, it behooves us at TheDigitel to remind you to stay safe.

And while that advice includes not blowing off your arm or setting anything ablaze with fireworks, it also means we need to remind that if you're driving, you shouldn't be drinking.

If that reminder isn't enough, know that police will be on the lookout this weekend.

It's always easier to call a cab than deal with the jail time, fines, and possible aftermath of a drunken drive.
