Watch out for drunken golf-cart drivers if you visit Peachtree, Ga.

Peachtree City, Ga., is the "Golf Cart Capital of the World," where 10,000 registered golf carts (one for every three of its 34,000 citizens) gently zoom about on 100 miles of dedicated golf cart paths. But the town is also beset by drunken golf-cart drivers: More than 15 percent of drunken driving charges in 2012 involved golf carts, and the police are making a serious effort to crack down. "Unfortunately, it's public perception to some that it's not a big deal to drive intoxicated in a golf cart," said Lt. Mark Brown. Peachtree City residents: Stop spiking your Arnold Palmers.
