Harmful meme:
The following meme about intoxicated driving, specifically encourages it. The meme is dangerous not only to people of my current demographic, but to anyone who has the capacity to either drive or drink (Or even those who are under-age, which this meme is especially destructive to). It not only emboldens dangerous driving, which can be dangerous enough, but it adds to it by including another dangerous habit of drinking. Which is something that is so important to partake in with not only caution, but moderation. Overall, I think that this meme attempts to double-down with satire, but is often overlooked. This should not only not be advertised or published online, but should have an addendum or preface about the dangers of drinking with the law and consequences attached.
Alternative meme:
I do think that this alternative meme carries the weight that the original meme does. It still allows for the fun of drinking, while instilling and promoting safe practices. Drinking is okay, in moderation, but it is important to be safe. By using rideshare apps or even having you and your friends take turns being a designated driver, it allows for safety and fun of drinking.

I think you did a really good job with creating a destructive and alternative meme about drunk driving. It’s simple and straight to the point, while being funny at the same time (like a meme of course) but I think what you came up with was very clever. Great job!
