Editing Harm reduction (section)

======Alcohol-related programmes======
A high amount of media coverage exists informing people of the dangers of [[drunk driving|driving drunk]]. Most people who recreationally consume alcohol are now aware of these dangers and safe ride techniques like '[[designated driver]]s' and free taxicab programmes are reducing the number of drunk-driving crashes. Many cities have free-ride-home programmes during holidays involving high amounts of alcohol use, and some bars and clubs will provide a visibly drunk patron with a free cab ride.

In [[New South Wales]] groups of licensees have formed local liquor accords and collectively developed, implemented and promoted a range of harm minimisation programmes including the aforementioned 'designated driver' and 'late night patron transport' schemes. Many of the transport schemes are free of charge to patrons, to encourage them to avoid drink-driving and at the same time reduce the impact of noisy patrons loitering around late night venues.

[[Moderation Management]] is a programme which helps drinkers to cut back on their consumption of alcohol by encouraging safe drinking behaviour.
