In 1997, 16 189 Americans were killed by alcohol-related (和酒精有关) crashes, accounting for nearly half of all traffic deaths. That is another person killed every 32 minutes. But that is only the number of the dead. An additional 327 000 Americans were injured in crashes in which alcohol was involved—roughly one person every other minute.
The people killed and injured in these crashes came from every social, racial, and economic background. They were our friends, our schoolmates, our sons and daughters, our mother and fathers, aunts and uncles. They are children, teenagers, and adults. They were rat just numbers..
Driving under the influence of alcohol is under-estimated again and again, Drinking alcohol and driving are both activities that Americans do so routinely, few consider carefully the results of getting in a car drunk. So this is the problem: drunk driving is the nation's most frequently committed violent crime.
But there is more to driving under the influence than just driving under the influence of alcohol. What many people fail to realize is that alcohol is not the only drug that affects driving skills. Education stresses alcohol so much, people don't realize that even simple, over-the-counter decongestants(非处方药)can affect driving skills—not to mention illegal drugs.
The problem is, people are dying. And perhaps if they had known better, they wouldn't have gotten into that car, or had those last couple of drinks. Or they would have had a designated driver. People need to know before they can act. They need to know the dangers of driving under the influence.
