In 2001, approximately 17,400 people died in motor vehicle crashes involving alcohol in the United States. This represented about 40% of all traffic-related fatalities that year.

The National Minimum Drinking Age was signed into law by President Ronald Regan on July 17, 1984. The Act encouraged a uniform minimum drinking age of 21 to combat drunk driving, improve law enforcement and provide incentives to the states to reduce drunk driving.

Each year in the United States, approximately 10,000 people die in alcohol-related traffic incidents. This accounts for about a third of all traffic fatalities. Efforts to reduce drunk driving through education, law enforcement, and public awareness campaigns continue to be vital in addressing this public safety issue.
In the United States, on average, one person is killed every 52 minutes in a drunk driving crash, which translates to approximately one death every hour. This statistic highlights the severe impact of impaired driving on public safety. Efforts to combat drunk driving through education, law enforcement, and prevention programs are ongoing to reduce these tragic incidents.
If you are asking if there is a law saying you can't drink while driving, the law is that you can't drive while you are DRUNK. The law says nothing about consuming a beverage while drinking.
The highest death rates from drunk driving are typically observed in regions with lenient alcohol laws, limited enforcement, and cultural acceptance of drinking and driving. Countries such as the United States have seen significant fatalities, with some states reporting higher rates than others. Globally, Eastern Europe has also been noted for high drunk driving death rates, particularly in countries like Lithuania and Russia. Efforts to reduce these rates include stricter laws, increased public awareness campaigns, and enhanced law enforcement measures.
