Guelph Police say some drivers just aren’t getting the message when it comes to drinking and driving.

Five impaired driving arrests were made since Friday, and Police have seen a jump in the number of people drinking then driving on weekends over the last few months.

Sergeant Doug Pflug says included in the arrests this weekend, was a man who was picked up around 8:00 a.m.yesterday.

Pflug says energy drinks, coffee, or a short nap won’t make you safer behind the wheel after a night of drinking.

Pflug says even a small amount of alcohol can affect your ability to drive safely, and if you’re going to drink, plan for a safe drive home.
