Alcohol Related Accidents
Geoffrey E. Schorr
It is important to remember during the holidays that many drivers on our roadways should not be driving vehicles because of alcohol consumption. Many people who attend Christmas parties, or sporting events, or New Year’s Eve festivities and dinners with friends, consume alcoholic beverages and then drive home. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), every day 36 people die, and more than 700 people are injured, in the United States because of alcohol related automobile accidents. The CDC estimates that the annual cost for alcohol related accidents exceeds $51 billion dollars. Those who are most at risk of death or injury because of alcohol related traffic accidents are young males, motorcyclists and people with a history of criminal charges for driving under the influence of alcohol.
To avoid drunk drivers, try not to travel on the roads past 10:00 P.M. Also, avoid driving in areas where there are numerous bars and night clubs. If you witness a vehicle that is swerving or driving erratically, keep your distance, and, when it is safe to do so, call 911 and make a report.
