Drunken driving— sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder— has bee a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho (男子漢 ) image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many wellpublicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant. Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 1820yearold drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless acpanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach then to resist peer pressure to drink. Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (酒棧 ) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated” and later drove off the road, killing a nineyearold boy. As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They fet that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and anized crime. As with the booming drug trade, there is no easy solution. 1 Drunken driving has bee a serious problem in America because .
