Exactly. You can't stop people from drinking but you can prevent them from getting in a car and killing themselves or others on the road.
We had a "Dri Chi" system at my chapter. Sisters volunteered to be a designated driver to anyone of our members that needed a ride in town. We had one every night, two on Thursdays (the party night) and about four for date parties even when we usually had buses. Parents and local police knew about our system and praised us for it. Unfortunately, HQ has since passed the word down that we can no longer use it, even if the drivers sign waivers.
