The Nassau County police were busy between 9 p.m. Wednesday night and 9 a.m. Thursday morning: Newsday reports that cops arrested 35 suspected drunk drivers (on the average night they only arrest 8 or 9 people!). According to Newsday, "With family parties, college students home from school and general holiday merriment, authorities call Thanksgiving weekend among the year's busiest for boozing." Also in Suffolk County, two bars served alcohol to an underage police volunteer, so the bartenders were ticketed (Suffolk cops found most other bars wouldn't even let the volunteer in).

Why I give Thanks (on Thanksgiving) that I am raising my family in Brooklyn. Having grown up in Suffolk, I know that cars are everything, and that as a teenager I was required to drive to see anyone or anything. I know the day will come when my kids are older and want to hang out with friends and there may be drinking involved. But as a NYer, I know they can get in a cab or take the subway.
DWI arrests prevent fatalities the same way parking tickets keep traffic moving. Keep up the good work. Sigh.
Just more revenue for Nassau/Suffolk.
You rrraaarely ever see them out 10pm-2am on Friday and Saturday nights.
But they're out in force during rush hour (mornings AND evenings)!
