Here are some useful ways that can be applied to stop them in such risky situation.
Take the Keys
The first thing you can do is to take car keys before serving them alcohol and allow them to go out only if they prove themselves conscious enough to drive a car. If it seems impossible to stay at that place and you also find them unable to drive, take them yourself where they want to go.
Get Help of Other People
Moreover if you find it difficult to stop them alone, get help of other people around and even do not hesitate to call the police if required.
Arrange a Sober Driver
These were the things you can do when you are with your friend but what to do when you are not present there to stop them. First of all arrange a sober driver for them.
Convince Them Logically
But in case they are not agree upon having a driver then try to convince them about the worst consequences of drunk driving and ask them to leave the habit at all if possible. Tell them in detail that how due to drunk driving they can be put behind the bars and they have to pay several dollars as a fine.
