Nowadays, the phenomenon of drunken driving has arouse wide concern among the public (在公眾中引起了廣泛關注). Especially the young generation living in metropolis（大都市）, tend to drive after drinking, ignoring the fact that this behavior may pose underlying threat to （對…產生潛在的威脅）their precious life and may even endanger （危害）others.   

　　Generally speaking, there are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon. Firstly, the absence of consciousness （意識的確實）of driving security may be one of the leading causes. people participate in more activities or banquets than ever before（比起以前）, where they will drink strong wine（烈酒）. Then, they may get drunk but continue to drive. Secondly, relevant laws and regulations may not have been strictly enforced （嚴格實施）to warn people not to drive after drinking. Drunken driving is bound to generate severe consequence if we keep turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to it（視而不見，聽而不聞）. Firs and foremost, this behavior will directly threaten the safety （威脅…的安全）of drivers, passengers and pedestrians, resulting in traffic accidents, injuries and even deaths. Besides, treating the injured and repairing broken cars means a grievous waste of （令人可悲的浪費）money, time and resources.

　　In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that the supervisory role （監管的作用）of laws and regulations should be strengthened to impose heavy penalty on （嚴懲）those who drive after drinking. Secondly, a more extensive education campaign （更大規模的教育活動）should be launched to arouse the public’s consciousness of the importance of driving safety. With these measure adopted, I strongly believe that drunken driving will be things of the past（成為過去式）.
