Facts about Drunk Driving

Drinking and driving is a serious offense, affecting the lives of one in three people over the course of a lifetime, whether as a passenger, impaired driver or victim of an alcohol-related accident. With an estimated 300,000 incidents of drinking and driving each day, costing the United States $132 billion each year, the implications of driving while intoxicated are both daunting and far-reaching. Even worse, one-third of drivers arrested or convicted of driving while intoxicated are repeat offenders, making recidivism a strong factor in the fight against drunk driving.
