Sammamish, Washington, Oct. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 37 people die in drunk-driving crashes every day in the U.S. - that's one person every 39 minutes. In 2022 alone, 13,524 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving accidents, and many more were injured. Tragically, these deaths were entirely preventable. CertsUniversity.com believes that better bartender education can play a crucial role in reducing these numbers

'Alcohol is a substance that impairs thinking, reasoning, and muscle coordination, all of which are essential to driving safely,” says the NHTSA. At a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 grams per deciliter (g/dL), a person's crash risk increases exponentially, which is why it's illegal to drive with a BAC of 0.08 or higher in every U.S. state.
