Thousands of innocent people around the world are killed by drunk drivers every year. Unfortunately, the drunk drivers themselves, usually aren't killed in their own accidents.
Drunk drivers account for thousands of deaths and injuries every year because their mental and physical abilities are impaired by alcohol which result in car accidents .
In the whole world, millions of accidents occur every day. There are accidental accidents of course, and if there were only that many, there wouldn't be too much of a problem. Naturally though, there are more than that: Drunk driving accidents, Suicidal driving accidents, Drug induced accidents, and the occasional hitting of pedestrians, bikers, etc. Ultimately, you can't count the number of accidents because of classification in the court systems and whether an accident is counted as one or not (and that brings up a lot of legal things that I won't go into).
Yes, but we need to be aware of the drunk driving problem every month of the year.
