How can I get the sink trap to clear the drawer under my bathroom sink?

Question

Is there a better solution to a P-Trap? We have installed a new vanity only to find that the drawer contacts the p-trap.
The vanity has 3 drawers. The top one is built in a "u-shape" and goes around the drain pipes. But, the next one down still hits the P-Trap:

My other attempt was to use a flexible P-Trap and angel it to the side, But I don't know that this would actually work.

I'm really trying to avoid cutting a notch out of the back of the drawer if possible.Is there a better way of doing this?

Put a notch in the back of your drawer. If you do it carefully with a hole saw or jigsaw it'll just clear the pipe and not look terrible. I like to make the notch and then run a router with a roundover bit around it.
The only other option is to raise the drain inlet in the wall.
