“St. Patrick’s Day is widely celebrated by drinking green beer and other spirits, so we urge revelers to include a safe ride home in their plans for the evening,” said Michael Blasky, spokesman for AAA Northern California. “Should your luck run out, AAA’s
Tipsy Tow will be there to help get you home safely.”AAA’s Tipsy Tow service will start 6 p.m. Saturday, March 17 and run through 6 a.m. Sunday, March 18.
