About the Indicator: As a depressant, alcohol use interferes with coordination, judgment and reaction time and can have fatal consequences. Impaired behavior around motor vehicles puts drivers, pedestrians, passengers and others at risk. Reported are the number and rate of deaths in which at least one driver, pedestrian, or cyclist has been drinking.

In 2009, reported alcohol-related motor vehicle fatalities is lower in Minnesota than the national average (rate ratio = 0.75:1.00). State rates are found using the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety (OTS); national rates are from Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
