Beware Faulty Reasoning!
Nationwide in 2009, 10,579 of 33,883 traffic fatalities were alcohol-related. (NHTSA)
69% of crashes are caused by sober drivers!
Therefore, sober driving is a serious problem. Don't let people drive sober!
What's wrong with this reasoning?
Hint: What is the breakdown of sober/drunk drivers for trips that did not end in a crash?
