Police say there is no guaranteed way of knowing how much alcohol is in the body, and advise motorists to have only soft drinks. But officers also recommend that people going out in groups should nominate a designated driver who will stick to soft drinks.
Comments:
a) That's not a "But". It's a further strategy of the officers, complementary to the first . b) Don't begin a paragraph with "But". Resist even beginning a sentence with a conjunction. c) This shouldn't be a separate paragraph at all. Drop "But", merge to one paragraph, optionally change the stop at the end of the first to a semicolon.
