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).
