<p>Acknowledging that females process alcohol differently than males, I don’t understand this quote at all:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think we need to worry very much about our drunk sons as well as our daughters:</p>
<p>Male drivers involved in fatal crashes were nearly twice as likely to have
been intoxicated (21.8%) than were females (11.2%). (NHTSA, 1996)</p>
<p>Men are four times more likely than women to drive after drinking (Miller
et al, 1996c)</p>
<p>In 1995, there were 11,723 fatally injured drivers in single vehicle crashes.
About 46.7% were intoxicated. (NHTSA, 1996)</p>
<p>The highest intoxication rates in fatal crashes in 1998 were recorded for
drivers 21-24 years old (28%), followed by ages 25-34 (24%) and 35-44
(21%). (NHTSA, 1999)</p>
<p>Nearly a third of males (31%) drive after drinking in the past year,
compared with only 13% of females. (NHTSA, 1996)</p>
<p>Males are also more likely to die from alcohol poisoning than females, they are more likely to commit violence against others when intoxicated, and they are more likely to be arrested for committing crimes when intoxicated than females.</p>
<h2>Males are statistically more likely to die as a result of alcohol-related deaths (not just alcohol poisoning) than females.</h2>
<p>Alcohol abuse should scare us all, not just parents of daughters!</p>
