In 2014, 16 percent of all drivers involved in fatal crashes during the week were drunk, compared to 29 percent on weekends.

So... during the week 84% were sober. 71% percent on weekends.
Still doesn’t mean driving drunk isn’t worse than driving sober. It is.
But... 100% of fatal car accidents involve cars yet there’s no outrage against the private automobile. Why not? Because that involves looking in the mirror and acknowledging you yourself are part of the problem. It’s much easier to point at others.
Take a typical MADD mother. Her son is killed by a drunk driver. Tragic. But it’s also true that her son was killed by a driver. Yet she continues to drive herself, unwilling and seemingly unable to question the insanity of the private automobile.
It’s easy to say let’s eliminate this thing I don’t do but if you REALLY care about the carnage inflicted on society by the automobile you should be campaigning for safe, free, accessible, convenient public transportation.
