Right. Something else to think about is that the underlying data could potentially be misleading, too.

Here's a good example:

Motorist A is driving drunk. He drives through a green light at a signalized intersection and is struck by Motorist B -- who is perfectly sober. This would be categorized as an "alcohol-related crash," but in fact the alcohol -- even if Motorist A blew a .20 on a breathalyzer test -- may have played no contributing role to the crash at all.

Now I would say.....don’t drive when drunk thus a none issue of a ‘alcoholic-related crash”......”related”....is in itself an evasive term... drunk driving leads to a loss of coordination, poor judgment, slowed reflexes, distorted vision, memory lapses, and even blackouts. Therefore it’s more than just related.
