"This year, Halloween falls on a Thursday, so we're certain to see extra parties throughout the weekend," said KOHS Acting Executive Director Jason Siwula. "Even one drink can impair judgement, so we're simply asking all partygoers to plan their sober ride home in advance, before decision-making abilities are affected." According to NHTSA, from 2013 to 2017, 42 percent of all people killed in motor vehicle crashes on Halloween night were in crashes involving a drunken driver. Younger drivers are most at risk. Even though it is illegal to consume alcohol under age 21, those under the age of 21 had the highest percentage (45 percent) of fatalities in drunken-driving crashes on Halloween night in 2017. "You should never put yourself or others at risk because you made the selfish choice to drink and drive," said Siwula. "In today's world, there are many sober ride options available. There is no excuse to drive after drinking." Party with a Plan If you plan to head out for a night of Halloween partying, follow these simple tips for a safe and happy evening:
