The Department for Health Promotion and Prevention of Disease wishes to remind everyone about avoiding drinking and driving, due to irresponsible people driving under the influence of alcohol. The Department hopes that everyone will be responsible in the consumption of alcohol, which includes alcohol binges. The advice is that alcohol intake should be controlled at all times and not just over the festive season.
Above all, plan in advance who will be the responsible person to drive home. The advice of the Department has always been and remains, a family member, or one of the circle of friends should be responsible and not drink and drive. This person is the true friend because they may be the one who saves everyones lives.
Also consider using other means of transport, such as public transport, taxis and minibuses that are there when needed most. The service is there and everyone should make the best use of it.
The Department for Health Promotion and Prevention of Diseases wishes everyone a good year filled with good health and happiness.
