Alcohol related vehicle deaths
49 - every single day
343 - each and every week
1,495 - every month of the year

Hint - Did I ever mention my general disrespect for the media?...

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation:
"The preliminary figures also show that between 2005 and 2006: overall alcohol-related fatalities increased 2.4 percent from 17,525 to 17,941;"
