Positive Drinking
We want people to drink better, not more. That means promoting moderation and continuing to address the harmful use of alcohol by changing attitudes and expanding our programs that tackle impaired driving and binge drinking.
Take a Minute.
Make a Plan.
Never Drive Impaired.
At Diageo North America, we believe that great celebrations start with smart decisions. Diageo North America, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), the National Football League (NFL), and Uber Technologies, Inc. join forces in a unique partnership to launch “Take a Minute. Make a Plan.” — a groundbreaking campaign designed to promote planning ahead to prevent impaired driving.
Launched during National Impaired Driving Prevention Month (December 2024), this initiative highlights how just one minute of planning can ensure the best time possible—because it means you’ll never drive impaired. Through creative storytelling, in-stadium programming, Uber incentives, and more, this campaign reaches football fans where they are, empowering them to plan ahead and celebrate responsibly.
Promoting moderation and choice with industry-leading tools and campaigns.
Information is a critical component of empowering consumers to make responsible choices – and DRINKiQ is one of our most important tools in promoting moderation and addressing harmful drinking. The online platform encourages consumers to drink better, not more, and is available in English and Spanish in the U.S., as well as over 130 languages globally.
Our brands have a strong history of engaging with consumers around the importance of responsible consumption of our products. In the U.S., Crown Royal and Captain Morgan have partnered with Major League Soccer (MLS) and the National Football League (NFL) on holistic responsible drinking campaigns that included moderation messaging and activations with fans.

The Magic of Moderation
We want to break the outdated perceptions around drinking responsibly and choosing to moderate. Discover how by drinking better, not more, you can savor every moment of an occasion, without compromising on the fun.
Understanding alcohol
In the U.S., a standard drink contains 14g of alcohol. U.S. dietary guidelines recommend that on a daily basis, women not exceed 1 standard drink and men not exceed 2 standard drinks. These common beverages are equal to one standard drink.
Preventing Impaired Driving
We have a longstanding commitment to addressing impaired driving through a range of interventions, including partnerships with road safety organizations, law enforcement, distributors, and corporations in the U.S.
Together with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), we launched “Wrong Side of the Road,” an interactive experience that gives people an opportunity to ask real impaired drivers questions about their choices and learn about their consequences.
We continue to support the second UN Decade of Action for Road Safety.
We’ve established a partnership with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to collaborate on public awareness and education campaigns aimed at ending drunk driving in the U.S. By combining our expertise and resources, we’ll do what we collectively can to tackle impaired driving and help save lives.
As part of this partnership, Diageo North America became an inaugural member of the MADD Network – a first-of-its-kind campaign that aims to unite diverse supporters of MADD who share the commitment of creating a future of No More Victims.
