Abstract

While alcohol-related traffic deaths in the U.S. have declined in recent years, driving-while-intoxicated (DWI) is still a serious problem, as 38% of all traffic deaths involve alcohol (NHTSA, 2000). Many efforts have been undertaken, with varying levels of success, to seek to ameliorate problems caused by drinking drivers. One legislative effort has been the passing of laws lowering the per se blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to .08%. This article looks into the issue of lowering BAC levels for determination of DWI and reports on the findings of a recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publication entitled, "A Review of the Literature on the Effects of Low Dosage of Alcohol and Driving Related Skills."
