    Most car accidents are result of poor infrastructure and human error… Not drunk drivers.

      In the US 31% of car fatalities are linked with alcohol consumption. I don’t think you can argue that it’s negligible.

      I doubt that poor infrastructure is causing more than that, and as far as I know there is no magic solution to solve human error (while there is, for drunk driving: don’t drink).

      Also this conversation was about comparing it to sugar, and I will take a bet and say that sugar causes car accidents, violence and rape much less often than alcohol.
