Designate a Driver

It can be difficult to talk someone out of drunk driving. Sometimes a person may appear sober even after several drinks. However, studies show that alcohol always affects a person’s reaction time while driving. Due to the already dangerous nature of operating a motor vehicle, alcohol consumption should never accompany the operator. Often however a person will avoid drunk driving if they can be provided a convenient and suitable sober alternative driver. Designated drivers save lives.

A solution to alcoholism and drunk driving is never cut and dry. Each case and each solution will be different and present its own sets of challenges. The key is to make sure no one gets hurt during the fight to correct the problems. There is only so much that can be done, but that might be enough to save lives and eventually perhaps save someone who has fallen victim to a terrible disease or simply a bad decision.
