It\u2019s harder to say no to more than one person.<\/li>\n<li>If you know the individual, get their keys if it\u2019s possible and keep them away from the individual until they either fall asleep if they are in your home, concede to take alternate transportation, or sufficient times has passed (at least 2 hours or more) since their last drink. Please use your judgement since, in many cases, a person will need to sleep it off which means\u00a0waiting a couple of hours until it\u00a0\u201cwears off\u201d may not be sufficient.<\/li>\n<li>If you cannot deter the individual from driving while drunk, call the authorities and provide them the person\u2019s name if you can, vehicle make, model and color, location and direction of travel. Stay on the line with the authorities until they have indicated they have all the information they need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>View event information for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/june-walk-like-madd-events\/\">June<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/july-walk-like-madd-events\/\">July<\/a> as well as how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/drunk-driving-prevention-apps\/\">mobile apps<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/technology-and-drunk-driving-prevention\/\">car technology<\/a> are being used to help solve the problem that is drunk driving.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, one person is killed every 53 minutes in the United States by a drunk driver.
