In Addition to Driving Companies, What Alternatives Can a Student Consider Before Drinking

and Driving?

Driving companies provide the best and most reliable option for the prevention of

drinking and driving. However, there are other alternatives to the prevention strategy that an

individual can consider. To start with, if the students are going out as a group, the first step

would be choosing a designated driver. The designated driver role requires an individual to stay

off any alcoholic drink throughout the night for the safety of the whole group. The position is

interchangeable during different days, therefore, at least every person in the team will have a

chance to play the role. The whole group should take responsibility and respect the role of the

driver by not tempting them or inciting them to engage in alcohol consumption. The role has no

cost, is easy to implement and is always useful in ensuring safe driving. However, the group has

to plan before going out to who will take the role to avoid any conflict of interest. If a person is

alone, an alternative would be to ask for a ride from a group which has a designated driver.

There are cases where a person does not have a designated driver, and there do not want

to use the driving companies. In such circumstances, it will be safe to try and stay sober or keep

the alcohol consumption at the minimum levels. The young people should be particularly careful

with any drink offered at a party. It does not matter the alcohol content as long as it is an

alcoholic beverage. Furthermore, an individual should always know their alcohol limits and at

what amount they do become intoxicated. If the person must drink, then avoid binge drinking or

consuming large amounts of alcohol at a short period. Besides, take a lot of food and non-

alcoholic drinks in between to lower the alcohol levels. Such measures will ensure that the blood

alcohol levels stay at a low level to prevent alteration of consciousness and reasoning.
