Most definitely. Your reaction time when you have one drink is impaired. Drink 2 drinks and it is impaired even more. Alcohol causes 1 death every 30 minutes according to the NHTSA. That is around 17,500 deaths each year due to driving under the influence of alcohol. Those are deaths not just accidents. How many accidents it causes is considerably more.
