when trying to convince a friend not to drive after drinking, you should try:

1. Remind them of the potential consequences of driving while under the influence. Explain how it's illegal and dangerous, and how it could lead to fines, jail time, and even death. 2. Offer to be a designated driver and/or a ride home. Show them you care by making sure they get home safely. 3. Check in with them afterwards. Ask how they are doing, and thank them for making the right choice. Make sure they know they can come to you if they ever need help in the future.

1. Remind your friend of the serious legal consequences of drinking and driving, including jail time and steep fines. 2. Explain the dangers of drinking and driving to everyone in the car and other drivers on the road – no one is immune from an accident caused by impaired driving. 3. Point out the potential long-term impacts of an arrest for driving under the influence, such as difficulty finding employment. 4. Offer to cover cab fare or pay for a ride-share service for your friend if needed. 5. Offer to stay with your friend until they’re sober enough to drive safely. 6. Suggest activities that don't involve driving, such as having a party at home or watching a movie.
