Now everyone is driving under the influenced of alcohol. They leave the kegs, but what good does that do, since the police have no idea who supplied the alcohol or who was at the party. If all places that sold kegs would register the kegs they sold, then the police could hold someone responsible. All the seller has to do is carve a number on the keg. When someone buys the keg, receive information such as a social security number or a driver's license number. If they do this when the party is broken up and everyone runs, they now have a keg that was left behind that they can trace to see who i!.
s responsible. They could then find this person and take the proper punishment that a court feels is necessary.
One of the biggest mistakes that underage drinkers are known for is driving while under the influence of alcohol. According to Stacy Williams in her article "Drinking and Driving", every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. Unfortunately, drunk drivers each year cause over twenty percent of all traffic fatalities in the United States. Most drivers 3who have had something to drink have low blood alcohol content or concentration (BAC) and are involved in fatal crashes. On the other hand, while only a few drivers have BAC's higher than .15, many of those drivers have fatal crashes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the average BAC among fatally injured drunk drivers is .17. And almost half of fatally injured drunk drivers have BAC's of .20 or over, which is twice the legal limit.
So how can we fix this outgoing problem? Studies have been done to see what punishments for drinking and driving are more effective. According to Kathy Whitehead in her article "Stricter DWI Laws", Automatic license revocation appears to be the most effective measure to reduce drunk driving. Whitehead also reminds us that driving is a privilege, not a right.
