No matter how many laws are passed, the real solution to this public health crisis begins with personal responsibility --- a commitment not to drive while impaired, and not to let our family members or friends drive that way. The slogan "Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk" is very true. If we are smart, we will reach an expectation that our "friends" will make provisions for their safe transportation before it gets to the point of having to take someone's keys. But if you need to, please take keys, call a taxi, or offer a guest room or sofa. We have a responsibility for each other. The person you stop from driving protects your friends, their families and people you have never met.

Myth: “Alcohol on the breath” is a reliable sign of alcohol consumption and intoxication.

Fact: Alcohol is actually odorless.... it has no smell. What people perceive as alcohol on the breath is actually the odor of things commonly found in alcoholic beverages. The breath of a person who drinks a non-alcoholic beer will smell the same as that of a person who has consumed an alcoholic beer.

Research using experienced law enforcement officers has found that odor strength estimates are unrelated to blood alcohol concentration (BAC), which ranged in the experiment from zero to .13 (almost twice the legal limit for driving). The estimates made by the officers were no more accurate than random guesses. The researchers concluded that estimates of alcohol on the breath are unreliable. 2

Research has long demonstrated that the existence of dry counties increases alcohol-related automotive accidents and fatalities. For example, a recent study of about 39,000 alcohol-related traffic accidents in wet compared to dry counties in Kentucky found that a higher proportion of dry counties' residents are involved in such crashes.

The analysis suggests that residents of dry counties have to drive farther from their homes to consume alcohol, thus increasing impaired driving exposure.
