Research Finds That Fatal DUI Drivers Are Not Social Drinkers

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 22, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "The study shows that DUI drivers are not social drinkers," said Al Crancer, Jr. a retired NHTSA researcher, "They are people seriously intoxicated and impaired with an Alcohol Use Disorder that requires heavy consumption of alcohol to reach the average BAC." A 180 lb. male would have to drink 13 drinks, more than two six-packs of beer, to reach the average BAC level of 0.19% in a three hour period.

The study suggest that the present NHTSA general deterrence approach to reducing DUI driving be replaced with a primary prevention approach that focuses on intervening to isolate and quarantine seriously intoxicated persons before they drive, just as we now do for all communicable diseases.
