Hundreds of teens die each year in alcohol-related crashes. However, the Partnership for Safe Driving reports that both speeding and distracted driving are much more serious problems for teens than drunken driving. According to official statistics collected by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about seven out of every ten teens killed in traffic crashes had not been drinking at all.

76,000? The CDC reports that around 35,000 died of liver disease related to alcohol, and another 41,000 or so died in alcohol related car accidents. MADD reports around 13,000 auto deaths with a BAC of over 8%- apparently the CDC is not so lenient. The Florida Medical Examiners Commission reports 4179 DUI alcohol deaths in Florida, and 466 alcohol overdoses, but does not mention cirrhosis and liver cancer. With the 4179 figure in Florida reported by medical examiners, I extrapolate that the CDC number is probably more on the mark nationwide than the MADD numbers. I would guess that the figures are underreported a bit, because many families refuse autopsies for their obviously drunken relatives. These figures also don't reflect criminal acts like murders and suicides, many of which are directly alcohol related. And by the way, in Florida, compared to the above figures for alcohl deaths, marijuana deaths came in at 0- that is, Zero, zip, nada, none. Except for Bob, who died of a heart attack from obesity, in front of his computer, with Cheeto stains on his private parts and a roach smoldering in the ashtray.

Yes. Speeding is the second leading cause of all fatal crashes.

Driving drunk affects your driving several ways. First of all, your thought processes and reflexes are slowed down, so you are not able to react to the road or anything else around you as quickly as you could sober. Further, your depth perception is off. This means that you could hit a car/person/etc. in front of you or not stop at a stop sign or red light simply because you don't realize how close it is to your vehicle. This combination of slow reflexes and bad judgment greatly affect your ability to drive safely. I don't know why you're asking this question, but if it's because you're seriously considering drinking and driving, DON'T!
