Yup, of all traffic fatalities alcohol is involved in 35%. That must mean stupidity is a factor in the other 65%. Time to jail people over stupidity.

Actually, nearly ALL traffic accidents are caused by stupidity, drinking while impaired by alcohol or drugs being just one stupidity.

It’s not even that bad. If you are a designated driver and have a drunk person riding as a passenger in your car during a collision, it is considered an “alcohol related” accident. If you are carrying a case of beer home from the store and a bottle breaks in the accident it’s “alcohol related”. It’s pretty comical, really, how they calculate the stats.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that if one of the cars in the accident was burning E-85 they would call the accident “alcohol related”. :-D

Also most people have consumed carrots within a month of all accidents

Actually as I recall, “alcohol involved” in FBI crime statistics speak means that any occupant of EITHER vehicle has consumed alcohol within 24 hours, so it may simply mean that 35% of Americans drink alcohol semi-regularly.
