According to the report by CDC “Drinking and Driving: A Threat to Everyone.” , Males aged 18 to 20 are nearly seven times more likely to drink and drive than are females aged 18 to 20. The gap narrows slightly among 21- to 24-year-olds, as men that age are “only” three times more likely than their female counterparts to drink and drive. Males were responsible for 81 percent of all drinking-and-driving incidents in the U.S. last year: “Men ages 21-34 made up only 11 percent of the U.S. adult population in 2010, yet were responsible for 32 percent of all instances of drinking and driving,” reads the CDC report.
