Driving under the influence is not only illegal, but also dangerous.  In addition to increasing reaction times and reducing a person’s coordination and awareness, intoxicated drivers are also more likely to undertake other dangerous/illegal activities, such as speeding.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, half of the drivers aged 21-24 who were involved in fatal accidents in 2005 were speeding. 

Additionally, one person loses their life every 20 minutes in the United States as a result of an drunk driving related accident.  Annually, 708,000 individuals suffer injuries as a result of alcohol related crashes.  Almost 50% of Americans will be involved in an alcohol related accident in their lifetime.  For males, ages 16-24, alcohol related accidents are the leading cause of death.
