Breakthru Beverage Missouri and Jameson Irish Whiskey Commit to Safe St. Patrick’s Celebrations with a limited number of FREE RIDES HOME Across Missouri

Rides are offered through Safe Home After Every Occasion™, a social responsibility program that encourages making planning your ride home before socializing a habit.

ST. LOUIS, March 13, 2024 — Saint Patrick’s Day marks a time for widespread celebration across Missouri — ushering in good luck for the Irish and the Irish at heart. To support safe celebrations, Breakthru Beverage Missouri and Jameson Irish Whiskey are partnering to offer Missourians a limited number of FREE RIDES HOME in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia and Springfield from 12 p.m. on Sunday, March 17 through 12 a.m. Monday, March 18 via rideshare partner Lyft.

The rides are offered through the Safe Home After Every Occasion™ social responsibility program designed to make planning a safe ride home before a night out a habit. Since the program’s inception, it has provided more than 100,000 Missourians a free ride home.

The Safe Home program is made possible through the support of Breakthru Beverage Missouri and its supplier partner, Pernod Ricard, one of the largest global suppliers of wine and spirits, whose leading brands include Absolut®, Jameson®, Beefeaters® and Malibu®. Jameson is one of the most iconic whiskeys in the Irish Whiskey category, dating back to early production in Ireland in the 1700s. It’s widely enjoyed on Saint Patrick’s Day and throughout the year.

“Saint Patrick’s Day is a very popular time for celebrations, and Breakthru Beverage Missouri is proud to offer Safe Home After Every Occasion with the generous help of our supplier partner Pernod Ricard to help Missourians celebrate responsibly by planning ahead for a safe ride home,” said Scott Johnson, Executive Vice President of Breakthru Beverage Missouri.
