9. (DWI) offenders • People who report driving within 2 hours of drinking in the past year not only drink in greater frequency but in also greater quantities per sitting then those who do not drive after drinking. And more then two thirds of them goes to court because they are drinking and driving and 2/3 of them exceed the blood alcohol concentration above 0.15 and they get arrested . That’s why there are so many fatilities because people ant drinking smart if you drink you shouldn’t drink and drive.

10. (DWI) offenders • Drinking and driving is getting worse and worser every year, there are more and more crashes each year and more and more facilities each year.

14. www.kyvl.org pattern of alcohol consumption and road safety • Studies show that most crashes was associated from impaired vision from drinking and driving, then the other crashes. This is why there should be more conquences for people who get caught drinking and driving so that maybe it could cut down the percentages of crashes that was caused from drinking and driving.

15. pattern of alcohol consumption and road safety • Drinking rates are high amoung both men (72 percent)and women (60 percent) with men twice as likely as women to report they sometimes drink in amounts that they perceive too much.

16. pattern of alcohol consumption and road safety • With all of the people that drink and drive only a few get caught and the ones that don’t get caught think they can just keep drinking and driving and think they got by one time with out getting caught they think they can do it again and people like that is what causes people to have bad crashes and what causes people to get killed by someone is by disobeying the law.

WWW.kyvl.org the American journal of drug and alcohol abuse • A study of injuries related to vehicular crashes found men with higher blood alcohol levels (bals) were more likely to be frequent heavier then those with negative (bals) however another study of crash involved drivers found more frequent drinkers to be at a lower risk than less frequent drinkers at all blood alcohol levels

18. the American journal of drug and alcohol abuse • A study of drinking found the highest risk of injury was associated with those who only occasionally drank heavily but who drank more than their usual amounts at the time, suggesting heavy episodic drinking may be more strongly related to injury than volume of drinking, and usual drinking patterns may moderate the association between acute intake and injury.

19. the American journal of drug and alcohol abuse • Data from an emergency room (ER) study for all causes of injury found that while risk of injury increased with volume of drinking, heavy episodic drinking, and drinking in 24 hours, high volume drinkers, suggest that those who usually drank little but on occasion drank heavily were at greatest risk.
