• Traffic Injury Research Foundation estimates that in 2003 1,143 people died in alcohol related crashes in Canada.
• Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) refers to the weight of alcohol, expressed in milligrams, in a standard volume of blood, usually 100 millilitres. For example, it is an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC that exceeds 80milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The amount of alcohol in the breath is directly proportional to the amount of alcohol in the blood; this is most readily measured by way of a breath test.
• Most alcohol-related crashes occur during the summer months of June, July and August.
