On average, one person is killed every 53 minutes in a drunk driving
accident in the US. Drinking is found to be involved in nearly a third of
all traffic deaths in the US. Additionally, a third of drinking-related
traffic accidents are caused by repeat offenders, meaning those who drink
and drive are somewhat likely to continue the habit. On average each year
in America, about 1 in 2000 drivers are operating under the influence of
alcohol on a given trip. With about 230 billion car trips taken each year
in the US, these statistics suggest that drinking was often involved in
fatal, as well as non-fatal car accidents.
