Alcohol is without a doubt an important factor in traffic fatalities.
This is even more disturbing now', considering that teenagers are still involved in drinking and driving accidents, even though the legal drinking age in most states is 21. The only silver lining I see in this dark cloud is that not everyone does it. I don't drink alcohol, so there is little chance of me getting behind the wheel while intoxicated. I'm always the designated driver because all I usually drink when we go out is a Coca-Cola. Alcohol abuse while driving isn't limited only to the adolescent drivers.
