Drunk driving is a serious problem in the United States. Don’t Die Drunk is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that has joined the fight to reduce the amount of alcohol impaired accidents each year. Drunk driving effects not just the people in the accident, but their family, friends, and community. We believe the that one of the best ways to fight the amount of DUI’s and alcohol impaired accidents is by providing people with the necessary tools to measure their BAC (blood alcohol concentration).
We place the only FDA approved breathalyzers of their kind into bars, clubs, and any other location that serves alcohol. These are state of the art breath alcohol testing instruments that have been evaluated by police departments, and approved as a medical testing device by the FDA. Dont be fooled by imposters, our breathalyzers are the ONLY FDA approved breathalyzers being placed into establishmnets. It is time to take the fight against drunk driving high tech!
The demand for our services is growing faster then we can keep up with! Right now we are focusing on our presence in Southern California, specifically Los Angeles and Orange County, but as our funding expands we plan to expand to the rest of Southern California, and the nation!
How can we reduce the number of drunk driving deaths and injuries related to impaired driving?
- Provide every establishment that serves alcohol with one of our FDA approved breathalyzer instruments.
- Aggressively enforcing existing 0.08% BAC laws, minimum legal drinking age laws, and zero tolerance laws for drivers younger than 21 years old in all states.
- Promptly revoking the driver’s licenses of people who drive while intoxicated.
- Utilizing sobriety checkpoints.
- Implementing health promotion efforts that use an ecological framework to influence economic, organizational, policy, and school/community action.
- Using multi-faceted community-based approaches to alcohol control and DUI prevention.
- Raising state and federal alcohol excise taxes.
- Fewer alcohol-related crashes occur when sobriety checkpoints are implemented. (according to a CDC report published in the December 2002 issue of Traffic Injury Prevention)
- Strong state activities designed to prevent driving under the influence (DUI), including legislation, enforcement, and education, may reduce the incidences of drinking and driving, according to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
