Cultural Change in Drunk Driving Perception

Cultural perceptions of drunk driving are shifting significantly, with fewer individuals viewing it as acceptable behavior. This change is attributed to increased awareness and social norms, suggesting that individuals are starting to see drunk driving as deviant rather than normal. Evidence indicates that when fewer people are caught driving under the influence, the behavior becomes socially stigmatized, contributing to cultural shifts. As a result, individuals are more likely to plan ahead for transportation to avoid the embarrassment associated with drunk driving.
