There are calls for anti drink driving messages to focus on young women, following the results of the latest police drink driving blitz.
Nine checkpoints were set up in Manukau and Papakura on Saturday night, stopping 7,524 vehicles and resulting in 81 drivers facing charges of excess breath alcohol. Forty-percent of those arrested were female.
The 32 women included a heavily pregnant woman and a young mother going home to breastfeed her baby.
Women's health consultant Sandra Coney says over-consumption of alcohol is no longer just a male problem.
She says more social marketing about drinking needs to be directed at women as well as men.
Coney says it could be done in a way which appeals to women's common sense.
She believes if we can get women drinking sensibly, it will rub off on young men.
