Drinking and Driving Statistics

• In 2010 drunk driving fatalities per 100,000 population was 3.3%. This represents a 64% decrease in drink driving related fatalities since 1982.
• What this means is that for every 100,000 people in the US, 3 people were killed in a drunk driving related crash in 2010.
• Alcohol impaired driving fatalities accounted for 31% of total vehicle traffic fatalities in 2010.
• Between 1991 and 2010 the drink driving fatalities decreased 48%.
• Under 21 years of age drunk driving fatalities have declined 57% from 1991 to 2010.
