<http://www.avert.org/usastaty.htm>

"The number of deaths among people with AIDS has remained relatively
stable since 1999, and was estimated at 17,011 in 2005."

<http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/drving.htm>:

"During 2005, 16,885 people in the U.S. died in alcohol-related motor
vehicle crashes, representing 39% of all traffic-related deaths (NHTSA
2006)."

So there's not really very much in it.  And I suspect if the number of
US service personnel killed in Iraq was included it would tip the
balance against AIDS.
