Young drivers continue to be at a higher risk of crashing after consuming even small amounts of alcohol. In addition, young people often tend to ride together in groups, which compound the effects of a drinking and driving tragedy.

They have embraced the designated driver concept, and it has become socially acceptable to abstain from drinking if you are driving. The decrease in their rate of involvement in alcohol-related crashes has lead all other age groups in the past decade.
