MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVINGDrunk drivers kill over 16,000 people in our Country every year. Drunk driving is the nation's most frequently committed violent crime. Eight young people a day die in alcohol-related crashes. During a typical weekend, an average of one teenager dies each hour in a car crash. Nearly fifty percent of those crashes involved alcohol. Approximately 240,000 to 360,000 of the nation's 12 million current undergraduates will ultimately die from alcohol-related causes---more than the number that will get MA's and PhD's combined. Direct costs of alcohol-related crashes are estimated to be $45 billion yearly, including $6 billion in direct medical costs. An additional $70.5 billion is lost in quality of life due to these crashes. Alcohol is the number one drug problem among young people. You probably know all that but if you would like to learn more, please visit this web site.
