Note: Data are from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) maintained by the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration.

* A crash is considered as alcohol-related if either a driver or a nonoccupant (pedestrian or pedalcyclist) had a blood alcohol concentraition (BAC) of 0.01 g/dl or greater. When alcohol tests were not done or test results are unknown, imputed BAC data provided by NHTSA are used.

** Calculations excluded decedents with unknown age or sex.

*** Number of YPLL per 100,000 population under age 75.

**** Number of alcohol-related YPLL expressed as a percentage of total YPLL.
