Summer DUIs: Drunk Driving Never Goes Into Vacation Mode

Whether it’s backyard barbecues, boating on the lake, or catching a baseball game, summertime offers plenty of opportunities for people to socialize and spend more time outside. And for many, enjoying summer activities also means consuming alcohol. As a result, the summer months see a substantial increase in both alcohol-involved crashes and DUIs, especially around holiday weekends.

Designed to raise awareness about summertime activities and drinking, and the potential consequences of mixing the two, our Summer Drinking & DUIs Infographic is full of sobering statistics for the summer months. In addition, visit our Summer Drinking & DUIs Resource Center for resources and tips to help ensure the 2018 vacation season remains enjoyable, relaxing, and most importantly, safe.
