Police are taking breathalyzers inside local bars to prevent people from ending up behind bars for driving drunk this holiday season.
A recent survey found Sacramento has the third-highest number of people driving under the influence in the U.S. Only Omaha and San Jose are worse.
"Unfortunately, this time of year we see a rise in alcohol-related crashes and injuries and fatalities," Sumida said.
"Very few people have been given their blood alcohol content," Sacramento Police Officer Peter Fremgen said.
"A lot of them are shocked that they're already close to the legal limit," Fremgen said.
Traffic safety officials say with cellphones and app-based rideshares, it's easier than ever for people who have been drinking to get a safe ride home.
It's a good reminder to celebrate the season with just the festive holiday lights, instead of flashing police lights in your rearview mirror.
Sacramento police officers performing these tests are part of the department's new nighttime traffic enforcement team, who are out looking for impaired drivers, speeding vehicles, and sideshows.
