This striking print advertisement called 'Beer Suicide' for the Don't Drive Drunk Foundation aims to visually showcase the potential [dangers of alcohol use while driving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drunk-driving-detection).

There are some drivers who tend to disregard the [constant warnings against drunk driving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-yellow-lights-love-story), believing that no actual harm can come of having a beer or two behind the wheel. This simple yet thought-provoking ad by the Leo Burnett Bangkok agency showcases exactly what can happen if you decide to drink and drive: a horrendous head-splattering accident.

The campaign showcases a man [drinking a bottle of beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garage-beer), while the back of his head seems to be broken into pieces as a small vehicle drives out from it. The image is meant to portray the direct correspondence between drinking and driving, and the potential deadly outcome it can have.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out
