The percentage of teens in high school who drink and drive has decreased by more than half since 1991.

One in 10 teens in high school drinks and drives.*

Young drivers (ages 16-20) are 17 times more likely to die in a crash when they have a blood alcohol concentration of .08% than when they have not been drinking.
