Pros And Cons Of Shuttling Services

Decent Essays
I can come up with one idea off the top of my head that can help with the problem without resorting to community help or financial support. Accordingly, mental health on any basis should be accounted for between family and friends. Therefore, if I were to see my friends drinking, I would want to be the first to screen them to see if they can even drive prior to the police doing so, and provide the appropriate services needed. However, like I said before in my other discussion post, shuttling services should be a norm at bars to help alleviate the concern. Despite that, drinking is a recreational activity that shouldn't be inhibited as it brings pleasure and relief from a terrible day, but instead, monitor as a community.

    Drinking and driving has taken many lives. The people that are drunk lose their lives, but also those innocent people who couldn’t prevent the accident and weren’t drinking. These people can’t prevent these accidents and are killed or injured because of someone else’s carelessness. That’s why we invented the horizontal gaze starter to save more of those lives. Since one of the tests, when someone is pulled over because of suspicious drunk driving, is the horizontal gaze test, why not use it as part of the solution?…

    Do you know someone that has consumed alcohol at an early age? Growing up alcohol was very evident in my local junior high and high school. My peers consistently talked about going out on the weekends, sometimes even the week and boasting about being the biggest drinker at a local bar they snuck in to or even going as far as describing extravagant narratives about not remembering the night before from partying too extensively. Underage drinking on college campuses are a common issue nationwide. While students and faculty alike are all aware of the issue not much is done or can be done to end underage consumption.…

    In the public eye people view alcohol as something you are not mature enough to handle until you are twenty-one (Van Tuyl), but when people are eighteen they are viewed differently in a sense that they are adults. Voting is allowed, service in the military, serving on juries, holding public office, flying airplanes, and signing contracts are all permitted. If at age eighteen people can do a numerous amount of extra circulars with greater responsibility and maturity, but are not aloud to drink a beer, people will start to question. A common opinion that is incorrect is the “magic-age” being twenty one, because that is when the body has reached its peak on development. It is incorrect in fact, as most medical studies prove maturity is a gradual…

    It has been going on for decades and we as a society have still not come up with ways to properly tackle this issue. In the end it is a choice and society can only do so much to prevent it. I have presented facts and statistics through a multitude of journals, articles, and books, but the bottom line is that all we can do is keep making young adults aware of harms associated with excessive drinking. I chose to solely focus on the Symbolic Interactionist Theory because it is simple, yet powerful. The idea that society on an individual and whole level can create change to social issues, like binge drinking, allow us to see that change is not impossible and is somewhat in our control regardless of ones relation to excessive…

    No one in this world wants to lose a family member to a drunk driver. Drinking and driving should not happen in the United States. Bars should take more actions, people need to plan ahead of time before going out and learn to limit themselves on how many drinks and money spent or the people should start a program for people just turning twenty one on drinking and driving and the consequences.
