The purpose of this study was to compare teen to adult drivers’ risk of having an alcohol-related crash. The results are consistent with past research. The lower rate ratios found for alcohol-related crashes compared to all crashes indicated that teens are less likely to be involved in alcohol-related crashes relative to other types of crashes. Male drivers were at greater risk of crash involvement than women, and when they did drink and drive, teens were more likely than adults to experience an alcohol-related crash. Finally, for both men and women, speeding and passengers contributed most to an increased likelihood that an alcohol-involved crash would result in a casualty.
