c. In Column 2 - Identify possible objections or counter arguments or opposing views against your own ideas, proposition, point of view or arguments then using credible sources provide your counter arguments to weaken or destroy the arguments or opposing views against yours.

Strategic Persuasive - Argumentative Plan
Your Main Point of Views, Ideas, Beliefs, Arguments
Anticipated Objections, Opposing Views or Counter Ideas or Arguments Against Yours
1. BAC (blood alcohol count)
Defense/Support: In all 50 states, the legal limit for drunk driving is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .08. A 120-pound woman can reach a .08 BAC level after only two drinks and a 180-pound man can be at .08 after only four drinks
Approximately 20 percent of accident fatalities are cause by someone under the influence of alcohol. This is unfortunate because these deaths were preventable

Your Counter-Argument:
If you drink and drive you must pay the consequences
In most cases we here, the drunk driver lives and the innocent person is killed.

3. Zero Tolerance Laws
Defense/Support:
Here is the bottom line: drinking and driving is a high-risk proposition if you're under 21, even if your BAC is nowhere near the "legal limit" generally applied to drivers over the age of 21. Even an adult driver may be subject to DUI conviction if the prosecution can show that although his BAC was lower than .08 percent, he showed signs of impairment. For drivers under 21, though, the law doesn't prohibit impaired driving. It prohibits drinking and driving, period.

How much is someone’s life worth.
