Motor-vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in the United States for persons aged 16--24 years, and a substantial proportion of these crashes are alcohol-related. Alcohol-impaired driving is highest among persons aged 21--24 years (1), and the percentage of fatal crashes that are alcohol-related is highest for this age group (2). However, alcohol-related crashes are a serious problem even for the youngest drivers. Not only are drivers aged <21 years more likely than older drivers to be involved in fatal crashes, but their added risk for fatal crash involvement increases more sharply at all levels of alcohol use (3).
