How Many OUI Convicts' 'Last Drinks' Were Consumed in Grafton?
Since 2012, several people who were convicted of drunk driving allegedly consumed their last drink at a Grafton establishment.

GRAFTON, MA — While there were far fewer "last drinks" consumed in Grafton than some other areas, there have been a couple of OUI convicts to consume their final alcoholic beverage before an OUI arrest in the town.
Grafton has been the "place of last drink" for two people who have been arrested and convicted for operating under the influence in the last four years, according to The Boston Globe. The Globe report said that number was for people arrested between 2012 through Sept. 2016 who said they had their last drink at a bar or restaurant in Grafton.
There has been just one "place of last drink" report in Grafton per capita (1,000 residents).
