The holidays are the most dangerous time of the year for alcohol-related problems.
Here are some facts that cover the time from Thanksgiving to New Years:
– 40% of highway deaths are related to alcohol (as opposed to 28% the rest of the year)
– 2-3 times more people die in alcohol-related crashes
– 25,000 people are injured in traffic accidents caused by alcohol
– 103 million people hit the road between December 23 and January 3
– 51% of drunk drivers say they drink more during the holidays
An increase in drunk driving accidents in years past also means an increase in DUI checkpoints and DUI patrols among police nationwide.
Nobody wants to spend the holidays behind bars away from their families, but the fact of the matter is that with an increased police presence the holiday season sees many arrests, especially for DUIs.
If your loved one is arrested this holiday season, we want to help get them out of jail as quickly as possible. That’s the only way to allow them to spend the holidays with their family, and get working on their defense as soon as possible.
