San Antonio knows how to party, and Fiesta is the crown jewel of celebration! With 10 days of non-stop parades, music, food, and drinks, it’s no surprise that the city comes alive like nowhere else. But amidst all the fun, there’s one thing we can’t forget — staying safe and responsible.
🚨 Fiesta and Drinking: What You Need to Know
Let’s be real — Fiesta is also one of the biggest drinking events of the year. And with so many events packed into one week, it’s easy to get swept up in the fun. But if you’re planning to drink, plan your ride first:
✅ Use a sober friend
✅ Call a rideshare like Uber or Lyft
✅ Or take a good ol’ fashioned cab
There’s no excuse to get behind the wheel impaired — and the risks aren’t worth it.
👮♂️ Pulled Over? Here’s What Attorney Shawn C. Brown Says
If you do find yourself being pulled over, especially if an officer suspects DWI, Shawn Brown wants every Fiesta-goer to remember these critical things:
- Always be respectful and polite to law enforcement. Everything is being recorded, and your tone and attitude can be used in court.
- You have rights:
- You do not have to perform a field sobriety test
- You do not have to take a breath test
- But refusing doesn’t mean being difficult — it means being informed and cooperative in a respectful way.
Being polite, even when you’re asserting your rights, can go a long way in how your case is handled.
