Abstract

World Health Organization say that in worldwide, 3 million deaths every year result from harmful use of alcohol, this represent 5.3 % of all deaths. The harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in more than 200 disease and injury conditions. Overall 5.1 % of the global burden of disease and injury is attributable to alcohol, as measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). These figures are terrible and, as we can see, alcohol is very harmful for health. Drinking alcohol is associated with a risk of developing health problems such as mental and behavioural disorders. Some people in that condition sit on the wheel and think they can drive. In that condition, they are unable to drive. In that condition, make a traffic accidents. This paper is dedicated to victims of drunk drivers.
