The simple solution to prevent DUI's is not to drink. However, this is not always the case. A lot of people drink at parties and social occasions, so what we must do to be responsible and save ourselves a lot of hassle is to plan ahead.

If you are going to a party and know you are going to drink the best thing to do is to plan for a designated driver, or arrange to sleep the night. However, if this is not possible keep track of your drinks and ration them out. Don't forget to drink water between drinks and try not to mix drinks.

If you are the type of person who doesn't think when they are drinking, before you start give your keys to someone else as a precaution; someone who won't be drinking. However, keep in mind it is your responsibility not to drink and drive, not everyone else's.

I can not stress enough, plan ahead no matter what the situation don't drive if you know you are intoxicated and remember you can still be intoxicated even if you don't feel like you are. Drinking will make it so you are not thinking clearly even if you think you can handle your alcohol.

However, if you do end up drinking and driving and you do get breath tested and done for DUI take responsibility for your actions and be honest to the police, they are doing there job and enforcing the law. You should be a lot more careful because DUI can be a very serious matter if someone gets hurt and it won't just be you.

To keep things simple, the best thing you can do so you aren't done for DUI, is....
DON'T EVER DRINK AND DRIVE! No matter your circumstances or someone will definitely get hurt and it could be you! Don't be included in the statistics. Don't think it won't happen to you because it can and does happen every day. If you don't hurt yourself you are sure to hurt or even kill someone else and that is the last thing you want on your conscience.
