What can social events do to minimize DWI risks?

Providing alternative transportation options is a proactive approach to minimizing DWI risks at social events. By ensuring that attendees have safe means to get home, such as shuttles, designated drivers, or ride-sharing services, the likelihood of individuals choosing to drive under the influence is significantly reduced. This strategy prioritizes safety and encourages responsible drinking, allowing participants to enjoy social gatherings without the concern of how they will get home afterward.

The other choices fail to promote safety and responsible behavior. Increasing drink specials can lead to greater alcohol consumption, limiting attendance based on age does not effectively address the risk of impaired driving, and promoting excessive drinking directly contradicts efforts to limit DWI incidents. In contrast, providing alternative transportation actively promotes a culture of safety and responsibility, making it the most effective strategy.
