The number of fatal accidents in which at least one operator had a BAC of over 0.08% (which is a ridiculously low definition of "intoxicated") was about 15,000 in 2006. Compare this to the number of hospital patients killed annually by iatrogenic causes (which is estimated at 800,000). Care to ban the practice of medicine? Since the advent of the definition of the 0.08% BAC as de facto intoxication, we no longer keep good statistics on what percentage of accidents are really caused by intoxication. -- Do not send me email replies -- this is a honeypot address for spam.
