Alcohol-related crashes accounted for an estimated 18% of Louisiana’s
auto insurance payments. Reducing alcohol-related crashes by 10% would
save $60 million in claims payments and loss adjustment expenses.
Costs per Drink
the societal costs of alcohol-related crashes in Louisiana
averaged $1.30 per drink consumed. People other than the drinking driver
paid $.80 per drink.
100,000 Americans Die
each year as a result of alcohol, yet there is not a single warning
label to identify risk for those who have a family history or heavy
environmental exposure known to increase for problems with alcohol
consumption.
