Getting behind the wheel after consuming any amount of alcohol is dangerous. It’s still widespread across the United States, sadly. Intoxicated drivers risk arrest and, worse, causing an accident that kills or seriously injures others.

Drunk driving is responsible for nearly one-third of all traffic-related fatalities each year, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 10,000 people lose their lives in drunk driving accidents each year. The number of people killed in drunk driving-related traffic accidents is expected to rise to 11,654 in 2020, a 14% increase from 2019.

Limits on drinking and driving should be strictly enforced due to its grave dangers. If you encounter a driver who appears impaired, you should contact the authorities immediately. What you do may determine whether or not someone else lives or dies.
