1 In 2005, alcohol related traffic accidents accounted for 7% of all traffic accidents. 2  Alcohol related fatalities account for 39% of all traffic fatalities.  The average BAC among fatally injured drunk drivers is .16%, or twice the legal limit.
At around .35 BAC, these vital functions shut off, but any BAC over .3 is life threatening and poses a significant risk of death. As an example of the danger of drinking to this level, White cited Gordie Bailey, a University of Colorado student who died of alcohol poisoning in 2004 with a .328 BAC.
