Do Not Drink and Drive
Drinking and driving has been one of America’s top issues in recent years. Just ask any emergency room doctor or nurse.
The current generation has been told over and over again about the dangers of drinking and driving. They’ve seen videos, brutal live-action plays, heart-wrenching self testimonies and even real life examples. Although, this infection of automobile alcoholism has managed to decrease fatalities by 5% in the last 3 years, the sheer amount of people who still drink and drive is astounding.
In fact, some universities have escort programs where students volunteer to be a ride home for those under the influence on Friday and Saturday nights.
Assessment
The battle against drunk drivers is one steep uphill treck. Alcohol has always been rooted in American tradition, but luckily taxies are too.

Alcohol Consumption as a Cause of Death in The Americas
Men accounted for 84% of all deaths in which alcohol was a necessary cause. However, the ratio male/female varied widely among countries.
The risk of a man dying from an alcohol fully-related cause in El Salvador was 27.8 times higher than that of a woman, 18.9 in Nicaragua and 14.8 in Cuba. On the low end of the scale, the male mortality risk was 3.2 times higher than the female mortality risk in Canada and the USA, and 4.3 in Peru.
The risk of dying from alcohol consumption also differed by age group. In Argentina, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Paraguay and the USA, the highest mortality rates were seen among those aged 50-69 years. In Brazil, Ecuador and Venezuela, the rates started increasing from 40-49 years of age, remained stable, and then dropped after age 70. Mexico showed a different pattern, the risk of death escalating throughout life and reaching its peak after age 70.
Each of those countries has a life expectancy of over 70 years.
