SF Radio: KSAN Annual "Do Not Drink & Drive Show" Is Monday

L-R: Lamont Hollywood, Chasta, Baby Huey, Paul Tonelli
Cumulus Media announces that the Bay Area’s Rock Station, KSAN 107.7 FM The Bone will broadcast the Lamont & Tonelli Morning Show’s 22nd annual “Do Not Drink & Drive Show” on Monday, November 23, from 5:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m.

Each year before Thanksgiving, the on-air duo raises awareness of the dangers of drinking alcohol and driving through a most unusual holiday tradition: Together, they drink alcohol while broadcasting their show, during which time the San Francisco Police Department conducts breathalizer tests of the pair. In the process, they will demonstrate how quickly a person can exceed the legal blood alcohol limit, and replace common sense with foolish and reckless behavior that endangers lives. Concurrent with the live broadcast, listeners can follow the progress on The Bone’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.



Jim Richards, Program Director of The Bone said: “As we approach the holidays, Lamont and Tonelli will once again demonstrate how stupid it is to drink and drive during the holiday season—or at any time. By sacrificing their livers for another year, Lamont and Tonelli underscore the reality that there are many opportunities to drink during the holidays, and there are just as many alternatives to driving while impaired. One of the most common mistakes people make is not realizing what their blood alcohol level is and erroneously thinking they are OK to drive. We thank the San Francisco Police Department – our partners in this broadcast tradition for the last 12 years -- for their assistance in helping us raise awareness among our listeners of how quickly a person can exceed the legal alcohol limit...AND...how quickly common sense goes out the window. We hope that people take this lesson to heart during the upcoming holiday season.”

Lamont and Tonelli said: “"The beautiful thing about the drunk driving show is we treat it just like a regular night at the bar... which means we'll be skipping out on the bar-tab at the end of the show!"
