Which age group has the most drunk driving accidents?
My son is about to be a senior in college and this year, he’s bringing his car to live off-campus. I’ve raised concerns with him about driving under the influence but he assures me he would never drive when he feels drunk. I’m still worried. Which age group has the most drunk driving accidents?

It’s great that you’re concerned about your son’s safety and sparking dialogues about how to make the right choices on the road. Young adults ages 21-24 have the most drunk driving accidents, but that doesn’t mean every 21-year-old doesn’t know their limits. Here are some of the stats:
- Drivers aged 21 to 24 account for 27% of all fatal alcohol-impaired crashes
- Drivers aged 25 to 34 account for 25% of all fatal alcohol-impaired crashes
- The lowest-risk groups are drivers under the age of 20 and drivers older than 55
- Minimum-drinking-age laws have saved over 30,000 lives
With your son, continue emphasizing the importance of driving safety and trust that he’ll make the right choices. And before he drives off to his final year of college, you’ll want to make sure he has the best
car insurance
