If this is true:

". . .I dont care for the cavalier tone"

You're gonna hate this:

If half (it isn't. it's more like 1/3) of road deaths are alcohol related, that means half (or more) are due to stupid sober drivers. Are you any less dead because you are killed by a stupid sober driver?

BTW, the term "alcohol related" is a nice catch all phrase. If a drunk pedestrian stumbles into the path of a car and gets killed, it goes into the stats as another "alcohol related" motor vehicle death. True, but not accurate and not very representative of the facts.

I'll have to find the article that documents it, but if a stupid sober driver crosses into the path of an oncoming car whose driver just had a drink (and nowhere near intoxicated or even the legal limit) with dinner. . . You guessed it! It's another "alcohol related" accident. Even though the 'drinking' driver did nothing wrong.

I'm not advocating drunk driving, only honest reporting.

What is alcohol related? Does that mean the accident was caused by a drunk driver?
