This document discusses the dangers of teen drinking and proposes a solution called "Drunk in the Trunk" to provide safe transportation for intoxicated teens. The solution would employ high school students to drive other partying teens home on weekend nights, charging $2 per mile. Details are provided on how the service would operate, with passengers paying in advance and drivers using GPS to locate pickups and drop offs while keeping identities discreet. Next steps discussed include student surveys, obtaining funding, and requirements for student drivers.
