 The topic I chose that I think is a major sociol problem in America is Drinking and Driving. Drunk driving statistics show that about 3 in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives. Male drivers in the 21-34 age group, and drivers who are of the white race make up the largest percentage of drunk drivers in fatal crashes. There has been over 10,000 drunk driving deaths this year (so far). This is a major problem in the U.S. Every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is preventable. It is clear that when alcohol is added the effects will only get worse. Young people have crash rates that are higher than those of other age groups. Driving while either intoxicated or drunk is dangerous and drivers with high blood alcohol content are at risk of car accidents. Those who prevent drunk driving are called designated drivers. Designated drivers have probably saved nearly 50,000 lives and spared many more thousands of people from suffering injury from drunk driving. Drunk driving is a problem that us as americans can handle by not drinking while driving. In conclusion, save your life and many others by staying off the road while intoxicated, and live to drive another day on the road.
