Drunk drivers cause hundreds of traffic accidents each year，many of which end in fatalities．In recent years，two organizations have been formed to combat this deadly menace．MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving)was formed to stop drunk drlying kids and teens，su pport the victims of and prevent underage drinking．①SADD(Students Against Destrucitve Decisions)was created to provide students with the best prevention and tools to deal with underage drinkin9，drug use，impaired driving and other destructive decisions．⑦The two organizations take different approaches to drunk driving and each is succeeding in its own way．
MADD was founded in l980 by Cindy Lightner，following the death of her l3 year old daughter who was killed by a drunk driver out of bail for a hit and run accident only two days earlier．Lightner and 0ther mothers who had lost children to drunk drivers formed MADD in an effort to stop the more than 30．000 alcohol related driving deaths each year．They worked，not only to educate the public about tee dangers of drunk drivin9，but to change societal attitudes about drinking and drivin9．MADI)expanded its campaign from“Don’t Drive Drunk”to Don’t Drink and Drive．To accomplish this，it has recommended higher beverage taxes，lower drunk driving arrest thresholds，and roadblocks designed to frighten people out of social drinkin9．It has also created Victim Impact Panels，where people convicted of driving while intoxicated hear the stories of parents，relatives and friends of victims of drunk driving accidents．④Twenty-six years after the founding of MADD，alcohol related driving deaths in the United States have been reduced to about l7。000 annually．
SADD was founded by Robert Anastas of Wayland High School in Massachusetts as Students Against Driving Drunk in l981．SADD emerged as a response to more than 6000 young people being killed in alcohol related accidents each year．SADD’s approach to the problem was to develop educational programs in school chapters ranging from middle schools to colleges．In l997．SADD extpanded ils mission to include underage drinkin9．substance abuse．impaired drivin9，violence．；tll(]suicide．SAaDD’s programs are keyed to the needs of individual school locations．These include peer led cla sse,a，iOl kilns， workshops．conferences and rallies。and other awareness—raising activities．Over its first decade SADD has worked with many federal and state agencies，nonprofit groups arm fourldatiOlts to get its message across．By l990，due in part to the work of SADD，the number of young people kilied in aicohc)1 related accidents fell t0 2，000 per year．
Both MADD and SADD have been influential in reducing the number of alcohoi related deaths in the United States．Each has taken a different approach to the problem of drunk dri ving arid come up with viable solution．[459 words]
