Drink Smart, Decide Safe - Chris Harder

Drink Smart, Decide Safe is a clear, practical guide for anyone who wants to understand how alcohol really affects the body - and how to make safer decisions every time drinking and transportation intersect.

Rather than lecturing, it introduces a simple, planning-based approach that helps readers think ahead, reduce risk, and protect themselves and others - without judgment or fear-based messaging.

Inside you'll learn how Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) works in real life, why impairment often begins sooner than expected, and why common assumptions about "being fine to drive" can fail under everyday conditions. You'll also learn practical decision tools you can use before the first drink - so safer outcomes become the default.

• Understand how alcohol affects judgment and reaction time

• Learn how BAC can rise faster than most people expect

• Recognize common myths that lead to impaired driving

• Use pre-decision planning to reduce real-world risk

• Build safer transportation habits that actually stick

• Protect yourself, friends, and family - every time

Written for everyday readers, young drivers, experienced adults, and professionals who support safety, education, and prevention.
