The dangers of alcohol at the tax

The figures on the subject of alcohol at the wheel are alarming. In 2023, 18,884 people were involved in alcohol -related accidents, with 198 tragically dying. Drivers who often sit at the wheel with a blood alcohol content of over 1.1 per thousand with a blood alcohol content are particularly affected. According to [ADAC] (https://www.adac.de/gesundheit/Gesund-unterweg/strasse/ alcohol-am-steuer/), recent statistics show that 72 percent of the car drivers concerned were in this high risk category.
