SALEM, MA — While there were fewer "last drinks" consumed in Salem than some surrounding areas, there have been several OUI convicts to consume their final alcoholic beverage before an OUI arrest in the city.

Salem has been the "place of last drink" for 125 people who have been arrested and convicted for operating under the influence in the last four years, according to The Boston Globe.
