The problem with “alcohol related” is that the statistics are brutally massaged.

Had a glass of wine with dinner?
Stopped for a quick beer on the way home?
Picked up a bottle of bourbon on the way home?

All motor vehicle incidents are considered “alcohol related” in the statistics if you even have booze in the car, let alone in your system. You can be stone cold sober, but that case of beer that was in the back of the truck will be noted by the constabulary, even if you are T-boned by granny running a red light.

It is my understanding is about 1/3 - one every 52 minutes.
