Document Summary
Biggest reason for drinking and driving is convenience: the chance of getting arrested is low. 1 and a half million drunk drivers have been arrested per year by police and high way patrol officers. Felony is injury is caused by a car who is operated by an intoxicated person. (cid:1) Less than 1/100 cases of drivers with bac above . 08 will result in arrest. We do not have enough resources or law enforcement to catch them. Typical assumptions of barroom drinkers: assumption believes competent adult drinker can drink to a certain level of intoxication and still be capable to drive. Do not have more dui arrests as a result of a lack of resources. (cid:1) (cid:1) In-group strategies: heavy drinkers provide mutual support for one another. Drinking is a good thing, not a bad thing: praise heavy drinking and act as a reference group, reframing of negative behavior into a positive light.
