Injuries and deaths caused by driving after drinking are preventable. Sadly, actions by the police can only catch a small number of drunk drivers on the roads. It is up to each person to make the decisions. 1. So we should help guide our friends and persuade them to avoid driving after drinking. Here are some tips.
Start talking to the person early. With every drink, judgment becomes increasingly uncontrolled. 2. So as soon as your friend starts drinking, you should try to persuade him to make a plan to get home safely. Remember, after he gets drunk, he may not listen to you.
Help the person realize he is drunk. Talk to him and show him that he is increasingly clumsy. 3. For example, ask who you can call to pick him up, or what public transport he would like to use. If he knows he is drunk, he may follow your advice.
Make last efforts. If all else fails and a drunk person wants to drive home, threaten to call the police or take his keys. 4. When he is not concentrated, take his keys. This may make it easier to convince him to take a cab home. Remember, don’t give him the keys even if he’s angry.
