Alcohol and Driving: A Bad Mix! Nearly one-half of all fatal traffic crashes are alcohol-related. Approximately 21,000 people die each year in drinking-related collisions. Having 2 drinks increases your chances of a crash 7 times. A 16- to 19-year old driver with a blood alcohol concentration of .06 percent is 8 times as likely to be involved in a fatal crash. At .09 percent, the probability of a fatal crash increases to 40 times.

Alcohol: Myths and Facts It is a stimulant. It has nutrients. It increases mental and physical ability. In given amounts, alcohol always affects an individual the same way. There are ways to sober up quickly. It is a depressant. It has empty calories. It decreases mental and physical ability. In given amounts, alcohol always affects the same individual differently at different times. Time is the only way to sober up.

THE COST Organizational Cost (a recent study) Per non-injury crash - $25,000 Per 1 million vehicle miles traveled - $85,000 Per injury crash - $110,000 Annual cost - $53 billion Personal Cost Injury down time Vehicle damage Vehicle downtime Hours lost at work Injury affect on family and shipmates Insurance Jail time True cost Fatalities, disabling injuries, family and shipmate tragedies

THE BOTTOM LINE Alcohol-induced impairment is the greatest contributing factor in many motor vehicle fatalities. The basic rule underlying all safe driving is to keep your vehicle under control at all times. Drivers who have consumed alcohol do not have complete control over themselves, and therefore cannot be in control of a vehicle. They are a danger to themselves and others.
