Drunk Driving

Our Position

Anheuser-Busch has one position on drunk driving: We oppose it.  One drunk driver behind the wheel is one too many, and getting intoxicated drivers off the road has been our goal for decades. 

We have developed and implemented programs to fight drunk driving by encouraging the use of designated drivers or alternate transportation, and to educate young people about the dangers of drunk driving. 

Statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation point to a serious problem: the majority of drunk drivers involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15 or higher, nearly two times the legal limit.  We support changes to the legal system that will prevent these hard-core offenders from getting behind the wheel, and laws that provide tougher penalties for them.  In addition, we support graduated licensing for young drivers.
