Drink Driving Case Study
Brisbane News November 2022
Queensland’s road fatalities and hospitalised casualties.
The cost of driving after too many drinks can be harsh. Social stigma and hardship caused by being unable to drive, court appearances, licence suspension and disqualification, heavy fines and even imprisonment.
The best way to keep you, your driver’s license and most importantly, those around you safe is to be proactive during the upcoming festive celebrations!
If you do not want to limit yourself, plan how you will party.
- Have a designated driver
- Choose to travel by taxi, uber or public transport.
- Host the party at your place and have beds available for guests that are drinking alcohol.
- Choose venues with a decent non-alcoholic drink selection for the designated driver and to give more options to anyone who needs to limit their alcohol intake for medical or other reasons. Make sure everyone gets to enjoy the party!

- Look out for your mates – don’t let drunk friends drive.
