Question

According to the CDC and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (part of the U.S. Department of Transportation), every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This is one death every 50 minutes. In 2010, the annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion. In 2016, more than 1 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. In 2018, more than 10,500 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.

Police check points have been a great deterrent in reducing alcohol-impaired driving crashes.

What else can a community do to effectively reduce traffic accidents due to alcohol consumption? What primary prevention strategies can we use to stop people from driving drunk in the first place?
