A new study reveals that the State of South Carolina ranks 2nd nationally in alcohol related fatalities.
St. Patrick's Day is traditionally one of the biggest drinking days of the year.
Local and state police are gearing up to tackle those who plan to drink and drive tonight.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, a first offense DUI costs nearly $10,000 between insurance increases and court and attorney fees.
The newest numbers from the Highway Patrol are somewhat encouraging. Last year was the safest year since 1995.
Alcohol related fatalities were down in the Palmetto State compared to 2008.
