Alcohol and drugs can significantly impair one’s ability to make decisions. They delay reaction time and also inhibit motor and cognitive skills. For these reasons, it is dangerous to drive with any amount of alcohol or drugs (even prescription or certain over-the-counter medications) in one’s system. It is illegal to drive while one’s abilities are impaired by drugs or alcohol, or while with a certain amount of alcohol in one’s system. And yet, many people continue to drive drunk or drugged. This results in serious or fatal traffic accidents.
Alcohol-impaired driving occurs in approximately one in three traffic fatalities in the U.S. each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
