CDC Vital Signs — Drinking and Driving: A Threat to Everyone

U.S. adults got behind the wheel after drinking too much about 112 million times in 2010.

Though episodes of drinking and driving have gone down by 30% during the past 5 years, it remains a serious problem. Alcohol-impaired drivers are involved in about 1 in 3 crash deaths, resulting in nearly 11,000 deaths in 2009.

Whenever anyone drives drunk, they put everyone on the road in danger. Choose not to drink and drive and help others do the same.

The October edition of CDC Vital Signs discusses drinking and driving and the proven measures that can help.
