And all 50 States, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, now have a 0.08 blood alcohol concentration limit for determining if drivers are driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI), up from just 2 in 1990. The percentage of alcohol-related fatalities decreased from 50.6 percent in 1990 to 42 percent in 2009. However, drunk driving awareness and enforcement efforts such as Zero Tolerance Laws may be having a positive impact. In addition, alcohol-related highway crashes annually cost Americans an estimated $37 billion. Alcohol-related highway crashes accounted for 13,365 deaths in 2010 (as shown in figure 1). Given the rate of driving under the influence of alcohol, it is remarkable that the fatality rate is not greater. Men accounted for 81 percent of these incidents. adults reported driving under the influence of alcohol at least once in 2010yielding an estimated 112 million alcohol-impaired driving episodes.
