Fast Facts:
• 40% of all traffic deaths are related to alcohol.
• Young people are more likely than older people to be involved in a
crash.
• Almost half of all traffic deaths among 16 to 24
year olds involve alcohol.
• "One drink" might actually equal 3 or 4 drinks. This is especially true of punches or mixed drinks.
• The person who drinks only a little, or less than
everyone else, or stops drinking early, is a controlled drinker.
• However... a controlled drinker should never be the
Designated Driver!
