More Teens Drink, Drive on New Year’s Eve Than on Any Other Holiday

New data from Liberty Mutual and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) reveals that teens believe New Year’s Eve is the most dangerous time of year to drive, yet it also is the holiday or event when teens most frequently drive under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. According to the survey of nearly 2,300 eleventh and twelfth graders, when teen drivers were asked about how dangerous they feel certain events are for driving and the likelihood of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs on one of these events, New Year’s Eve topped both lists.
