Kansas has a serious drinking and driving problem
KANSAS - Drunken driving — Kansas was one of only 16 where the number of alcohol-related fatalities increased in 2009, as reported in national traffic safety statistics released recently. It wasn't a blip of an increase, either. The number climbed 12 percent, to 154 deaths.
Authorities said alcohol was a factor in about 40 percent of the 386 fatalities that occurred in Kansas last year. Worse, the number rose the year before, too. There were 33 percent more alcohol-related deaths in 2008 compared with 2007. This is shameful. Infuriating.
Heartbreaking, too. The body count keeps rising, and still Kansas motorists choose to drink alcohol and drive. Parents bury their children, children lose mothers and fathers, spouses become widowed, and yet drivers continue to get behind the wheel after having at least one too many.
Kansas motorists are ultimately responsible for taking the actions needed to reduce drunken driving in the state. Those actions include designating a driver, calling a taxi or otherwise finding a safe method of transportation after drinking.

Parents and peers have a large impact on youth decisions to drink. However, research clearly indicates that alcohol advertising and marketing also have a significant effect by influencing youth and adult expectations and attitudes, and helping to create an environment that promotes underage drinking.
|
Heavy drinking is a drinking pattern that goes beyond what is considered moderate or socially acceptable. In Colombia and Georgia, for instance, up to 50% of all male drinkers are considered heavy drinkers. However, comparisons between surveys are difficult because they use different criteria.
|
In 1998, 83% of adults surveyed said that adults who illegally give alcohol to minors should be penalized.
|
Prohibition clearly benefited some people. Notorious bootlegger Al Capone made $60,000,000...that's sixty million dollars...per year (untaxed!) while the average industrial worker earned less than $1,000 per year.
