A CAMPAIGN against drink-driving targeting young men is aiming to prevent deaths on roads this Christmas.

Almost 900 people were hurt in drink-drive-related accidents at weekends in the North West last year, with more than a third of these injured between 10pm and 3am.

The THINK! campaign, launched by the Department for Transport, is aimed at young men.

As well as a new radio and internet advert, the Christmas campaign will include this summer’s Moment of Doubt TV advert, cinema and in-pub advertising and partnership marketing.

Even one alcoholic drink is being discouraged with shoppers, commuters and party-goers in major cities also targeted.
