The patrol says that from Friday evening through early Monday, 424 motorists were arrested for driving under the influence. That's despite plenty of urging to use smarter options for getting home.

The Minnesota State Patrol says it made hundreds of arrests for drunken driving over the St. Patrick's Day weekend.



The patrol says that from Friday evening through early Monday, 424 motorists were arrested for driving under the influence. That's despite plenty of urging to use smarter options for getting home, including free bus rides, Metro Transit and Uber.

Last year, there were 175 DWI arrests and in 2016, there were 189. The last time the holiday was on a Saturday was 2012, and there were 424 arrests.

Those are statewide numbers. Would be curious to see the increase in areas that actually have rideshare available. Either way, too many idiots getting behind the wheel.
