The Montgomery County Sheriff's Department is joining other local and state police agencies across Kansas in a crackdown aimed at removing drunk and other impaired drivers from the roadways.

"You Drink. You Drive. You Lose" will run from August 20th through Labor Day, September 7th. The enforcement campaign is intended to remind drivers to have a sober driver lined up before any alcohol is consumed and to check any new prescription medication for driving warnings. The campaign is also aimed at reminding others that wearing a seatbelt is the best defense against impaired drivers.

In 2018 one person was killed in a drunk driving crash every 50 minutes in the United States.
