Great in doing a research on alcohol consumption and driving. Got an A in a course because of the information from this book.

If you didn't already know, drinking and driving is a very serious problem in the Unites States. The US has one of the strictest drinking age requirements, but still have huge issues with drunk drivers causing accidents and even death on our roads. To reach the legal limit of .08 in The US, an average 200 pound person can only have 5 or 6 drinks. While the legal limit is .08, it used to be .15 before 2000. And in 1984 the legal drinking age turned to 21. It was previously 18. Groups like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) are constantly doing things to make laws stricter and prevent the act of drinking and driving.
