The Age Breakdown of Alcohol-Impaired Driving Deaths
Adults in their late twenties and thirties carry the heaviest toll from drunk driving, with the 25-34 age group alone accounting for nearly a quarter of all alcohol-impaired driving deaths in 2024. Combined, the 25-44 range makes up almost 42% of these deaths, and men are killed at more than three times the rate of women, pointing to working-age men as the group facing the greatest risk.
