Actually, there never was an organization called "Students Against Drunk Driving." Students in Wayland, Massachusetts founded SADD, which stood for "Students Against Driving Drunk" (to emphasize personal responsibility for the issue), in 1981, after the back-to-back deaths of two popular hockey players in impaired driving crashes.
In 1997 SADD changed the legal name of the organization to "SADD, Inc." and encouraged chapters to use "Students Against Destructive Decisions" as an expanded version of the acronym. This was done to reflect both an expanded focus on issues such as underage drinking, drug use, violence and suicide prevention, etc., as well as to make it clear that SADD wasn't concerned only about impaired driving - the organization firmly opposed underage drinking as well.
While chapters were permitted to use the old name for a transition period, in 2004 the SADD Board of Directors voted to prohibit chapters from using the old name any longer.
