Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is an 8 page paper discussing the moral and legal responsibility and the campaigns against drinking and driving. As drinking and driving continues to take many lives on an annual basis, two different formats are being used to control drinking and driving in Canada and the United States. From a legal perspective, stricter laws are being advocated to try and deter and punish people from drinking and driving. Perhaps more effective campaigns however, are those which have targeted the moral responsibility of drinking. Harm reduction programs, moderation management and public awareness are now becoming more prominent in regards to a person’s moral and social responsibility to use self-control and moderation when drinking in order for the protection of the individuals and others in society. Provincial alcohol boards and some alcohol distributors are now promoting the moral obligations and choices people must make when they drink. In addition, many believe that the laws reflect the moral and values of the population even though they may conflict with images of irresponsibility which are often promoted as well. In the case of hard core drinkers who seemed unaffected by moral responsibility campaigns, stricter laws are being suggested focusing on the hard core drinker.

population even though they may conflict with images of irresponsibility which are often promoted as well. In the case of hard core drinkers who seemed unaffected by moral responsibility campaigns,
stricter laws are being suggested focusing on the hard core drinker. While many believe that mass moral campaigns may not be as effective as tackling a person with a drinking
problem on an individual basis, mass moral campaigns are still considered the basis of making the country aware of the consequences of drinking and driving which will hopefully instigate those
in contact with drinkers to take action against them. From a legal perspective, the Canadian Restaurant and Food Association (CRFA) finds that Canadas
sanctions for those who drink and drive are among some of the strictest in the world. Currently, the restriction of .08 criminal limit for blood alcohol is seen as strict
enough by the CRFA although the Safety Council supported by several other associations are still trying to devise methods for reducing the number of drunk drivers on the road today.
