First pro drunk driver article I believe I have ever read.
It's amazing to see the level of ignorant drivel being published these days. I'm not quite sure what point the scatter-brained author is trying to make here. It's a very simplistic view point of two very serious and far reaching subjects for a website that is not even related to the article subject matter.
I think the author must have gotten an STD while driving drunk.
The MADD folks (along with law enforcement administrators and nanny regulators) have been junking up the "alcohol-related" stats for decades.
One can oppose drunk driving, and still find the 0.08 BAC mandates oppressive.
If you believe that a drunk pedestrian getting killed by a faultless motorist, or a one-beer driving getting killed by a sober red-light runner, or a fatal crash among sober drivers in which a tipsy passenger is killed constitute "alcohol related fatalities", then you are in line with those who claim "40% alcohol related.".
