Alcohol sales see a notable increase, DUI arrests rise, and police enhance patrols. Beer accounts for the majority of Thanksgiving weekend sales, and there is a 55% increase in alcohol-related crashes from Wednesday through Sunday, leading to over 400 deaths annually. Law enforcement agencies are ready to intensify patrols during the holiday period, and local bars are gearing up for a busy night.
