Part 2 - Solutions for the Issue

Information
Something else that should be done to help solve or curb the problem.
My own ideas for solving this problem. This may not be something that is currently being done.
During a public event stage a performance in the background of a drunk driving incident. Such as having someone crash their car during a 4th of july pretending to be drunk and then the police take him/her away. Then someone tells the people it was staged. This will kind of scare the people a bit and maybe they would think twice before
