Drinking and Driving
The government has created numbers of awareness of the dangers to drinking and driving. They put films together on television, show anti ads online about drinking and driving, have imposed fines, and news articles talking about the ill effects of it from time to time. However, even after hearing all these warnings, teens give into peer pressure causing them to pay less attention to all the warnings around them. Although teens may become peer pressured, they're are still many ways to avoid drinking and driving.

FOUR SUGGESTIONS
- Handing your keys to somebody - Even though you may not think that you are going to end up driving home drunk, you should give your keys to hold them until the next morning when you are completely sober.
- Keep cab fare handy - When you're at a bar or wherever you're drinking, always have money for cab fare in a separate part of your wallet. Another good idea you should do is keep the number of a reliable cab company number programmed into your phone or on a card with your cab money.
- Have a designated driver - If you are not sober, you should call for a close friend or family member to pick you up. If not, one of your friends, who's sober should send you home.
- DON'T DRINK.
