The Best advice is don't drink and drive.

The proportion of auto accidents caused by alcohol is actually unknown. Alcohol-related crashes include accidents that are clearly not caused by alcohol; as, for example, when a driver who has been drinking is stopped at a red light and rear-ended by a sober but inattentive driver.

A more accurate estimate comes from fatal crashes. In 1999, 28% of fatally injured drivers had BACs of at least .10. Of course, alcohol was not a cause of some unknown number of these crashes. 2

Myth: People who abstain from alcohol are "alcohol-free" and can’t be arrested for DUI.

Fact: The human body produces its own supply of alcohol naturally on a continuous basis, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It’s called endogenous ethanol production. Therefore, we always have alcohol in our bodies and in some cases people produce enough to become legally intoxicated and arrested for DUI.

Impairment can result from a number of things.
Alcohol

Well known is the fact that the consumption of alcohol can cause impairment. Perhaps less recognized is that fact that impairment rises gradually at lower levels but dramatically at higher levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC). About half of auto fatalities involve drivers with BACs of .16 or higher. Impairment occurs at lower levels, but it's especially important to prevent driving with high BACs.
