Asked of all survey respondents: Considering all types of alcoholic beverages, how many times during the past 30 days did you have 4-5 or more drinks on an occasion?

Why is this important?
In 2014, 9,967 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (31%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. Every day, 28 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This amounts to one death every 53 minutes. Every year the cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion.
