Horseheads (WENY) -- Trinity of Chemung County, a non-profit substance abuse agency, created the 'think before you drink' campaign. The cards depict graphic scenes of the consequences of drinking and driving, and remind kids to be safe. Several area businesses that will be very popular this prom season are finding ways to make sure the message gets out.
     "We really like to put the little note in the tuxedo or dress, you know just one more reminder before they go out the door to think that night and just have a really good time safely," said Bonnie Blide, Co-owner of Bonjulies.
     Donald Zeigler, co-owner of Zeigler's, added, "it's just that last minute reminder. Don't do this, don't drink and drive stafe, sober and have a good time. Remember. It has been very successful."
     Zeigler said he sees a big difference in the amount of drinking and driving accidents in recent years, thanks these small cards.
