A. Illegal drugs were becoming more popular.
B. Blood alcohol levels were decreasing.

D. Birth defects from fetal alcohol syndrome were cured.

Answer 1

C. Traffic fatalities related to alcohol were increasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The government sole responsibility is the protection of lives and property. The traffic fatalities is bad for the government because of the damages caused on the road when accidents occur. It is also bad because other road users are at risks of being involved in accidents with drivers under the influence of alcohol. When these are considered, the best is for the government to regulate alcohol consumption to avoid or reduce accidents and protect lives and property of citizens.
