Don't let your holiday CHEERS turn to holiday TEARS!
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) link below highlights important figures related to drunk driving including:
Every day, 36 people in the United States die, and approximately 700 more are injured, in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver
If you do the math this works out to per year: 13,140 DEATHS and 244,500 INJURIES
In 2006, 13,470 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (32%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States
