December Killed 1,038 People in Drunk Driving Crashes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>2023 was<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/drive-sober-december-and-every-month\"> one of the highest December death tolls in 15 years<\/a>. Not a slow creep upward either. A spike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this worse is that we know it&#8217;s coming. Every year, law enforcement launches &#8220;Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over&#8221; campaigns. Every year, news stations run segments about designated drivers. And every year, over a thousand people still die.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Nearly 5,000 People Died in December Drunk Driving Crashes Over Five Years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2019 through 2023,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/campaign\/drive-sober-or-get-pulled-over\"> 4,931 lives were lost to drunk driving just in December<\/a>. That&#8217;s roughly the population of a small town, wiped out. Every five years. Just in one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>December consistently punches above its weight for DUI fatalities. It&#8217;s not the only dangerous month. Summer has its share of tragedies too. But something about the combination of cold weather, holiday stress, and endless parties makes December uniquely deadly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Christmas and New Year&#8217;s Week Alone Kill 300+ Every Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/campaign\/drive-sober-or-get-pulled-over\"> Christmas and New Year&#8217;s holiday periods claimed 298 lives<\/a> from drunk driving crashes. That&#8217;s just two weeks. Maybe ten days of actual celebrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about that concentration. Nearly 30% of December&#8217;s drunk driving deaths happen in a window shorter than most people&#8217;s vacation time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overnight hours are the worst. Holiday parties let out. Bars close. And suddenly the roads are full of people who probably shouldn&#8217;t be driving but convince themselves they&#8217;re fine.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. December 2022 Was the Deadliest in Over a Decade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>December 2022 saw<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/drive-sober-december-and-every-month\"> 1,062 people killed in alcohol-related crashes<\/a>, marking it as one of the deadliest months for U.S. roadways in years. That was the highest December toll since 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why 2022? Hard to say for certain. Post-pandemic socializing might have played a role. People were going out more, reconnecting with friends and family, making up for lost time. More gatherings meant more drinking. More drinking meant more impaired drivers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. One Person Dies Every 42 Minutes From Drunk Driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Year-round,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/campaign\/drive-sober-or-get-pulled-over\"> someone dies in a drunk driving crash every 42 minutes<\/a> in the United States. That works out to roughly 36 deaths per day. Every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During December, that rate climbs higher. The 42-minute average becomes 32 minutes during peak holiday periods. The math is relentless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This statistic exists because alcohol impairs judgment in a specific way. People who would never drive recklessly sober convince themselves they&#8217;re &#8220;fine&#8221; after a few drinks. <a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/how-does-alcohol-affect-driving-ability\/\">Alcohol affects the very part of the brain that would tell them not to drive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

No other day comes close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Year&#8217;s Eve concentrates drinking into a single night more than any other holiday. Midnight celebrations. Champagne toasts. Parties that run until 2 or 3 AM. Then everyone tries to get home at roughly the same time, many of them well over the legal limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The early morning hours of New Year&#8217;s Day are especially dangerous. Between midnight and 3 AM, the roads become a roulette wheel. Some drivers are sober. Many aren&#8217;t. And at those hours, there&#8217;s often no way to tell until it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. 40% of Holiday Week Traffic Deaths Involve Drunk Drivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Christmas to New Year&#8217;s stretch,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoxalock.com\/knowledge-center\/holiday-drunk-driving-statistics\"> about 40% of traffic fatalities involve drunk drivers<\/a>.

That&#8217;s the second-highest death toll of any state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>California has run extensive public awareness campaigns for decades.
