Alcohol Data in FARS
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) values.
Reported for every Driver and non-occupant (pedestrians, etc.) involved in a fatal crash.
Surviving Persons – Breathalyzer Tests, PBTs Fatally Injured Persons – ME, Coroner Tests.

Missing BAC Data
More than half the cases do not have BAC.
Varies widely across states (10% - 90%).
Need consistent data to assess trends, etc.
Reliably Estimate Missing BAC.

Definitions
BAC : Blood Alcohol Concentration (g/dl)
Alcohol-Related Fatalities : Fatalities that occur in crashes involving at least one driver or non-occupant with BAC=0.01+
Non-occupant: Pedestrian or pedal-cyclist

A Crash is alcohol-related if…
One or more drivers in crash have BAC > 0.
One or more non-occupants in crash have BAC > 0.
One or more drivers as well as a non-occupant in same crash have BAC >0.

Exposure Measures
No reliable nationwide exposure measure for Impaired Driving.
Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) is the best proxy.
VMT Data is available by state going back to 1982.
Rates of Impaired Driving can be generated back to 1982.

• The Median BAC Value for Alcohol-Involved Drivers and Motorcycle Operators is .16 g/dl
• Which means more than half of all alcohol-involved drivers and motorcycle operators had BACs higher than twice the legal limit in most states.

• In 2004, about 1,189 fatalities occurred in crashes involving alcohol-impaired or intoxicated driver(s) and motorcycle operators who had at least one previous DWI conviction
--- Accounting for 7% of all alcohol-related fatalities and remained unchanged from 2003
