What this Vermont Department of Public Safety chart shows is the number of alcohol related highway deaths was decreasing sharply prior to the drinking age being raised to 21. After it was raised, highway deaths spiked sharply upwards showing raising the drinking age had absolutely no affect on the number of alcohol related highway deaths in Vermont. The greatest factor creating a reduction the number of alcohol related highway deaths was not the drinking age, but it was lowering the BAC to 0.08 in 1991.
NYRA Quote of the Month
"No guarantees come with children's liberation. But neither the promise of great benefits to all nor the prediction of great difficulties ahead can serve as the reason for granting or denying rights to children. Rights will be granted because without them children are incapacitated, oppressed, and abused."
- Richard Farson "Birthrights"
