Dangers of Teen Drinking

On this website, it goes on a broader topic of teenage drinking in general, and the dangers with that. These dangers include drunk driving. It is found that 65% of senoirs drink every month. It is very dangerous to drink, because it could lead to drunk driving. 5,000 teenagers under 21 as mostly results form underaged drinking consisting with drunk driving. Also, teenager, who are already new to driving, are more likely to be affected by alcohol with their driving skills. Drivers who drink around the age of 16 to 20 have a higher chance to crash than those who are 21 and older. It is twice more likely for them to crash then those 21.
This is a horrible thought. For me, knowing that those around my age are more likely to crash than those who are older is a scary thought. To know that the chance is very high that those who drink and drive are going to die just leaves no debate whether it's ok to drink or not. Because drinking leads to nothing good. Anything that could happen and is happening is dangerous and could change someones life forever.
Evidence
-1,900 people under the age of 21 die every year from creashes related to drunk driving.
-For teenagers, getting drunk impears their driving greater than those who are 21 and older
Question
-How many ways are there to prevent drunk driving from occuring?
-What are people doing everyday to prevent drunk driving?
