The Risks

Alcohol affects decision-making, reaction times, speed and distance judgments,

concentration and perception, balance and alertness. It can also give a driver a false sense
of confidence, which may encourage risk taking. Alcohol-related fatal crashes cost the
Western Australian community in excess of $235 million each year. The hospital and
rehabilitation costs of alcohol-related crashes where people are seriously injured are even
higher.

Facts and Figures

DID YOU KNOW: With a blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) of 0.05, the risk of being
involved in a crash doubles. With a BAC of
0.08, you are 7 times more likely to crash and 25
times more likely with a BAC of 0.15.

In WA in 2011/12, more than 15,000 people
were booked for drink driving.
In 2012, alcohol was a factor in 19% of fatal
crashes attended by WA Police.

Of police-attended fatal crashes in 2012, the
highest proportions of drivers/riders with illegal
BACs were males in the 40 to 49 and 30 to 39
year age group followed by younger men aged
25 to 29.

Determining your blood alcohol concentration

(BAC) level is difficult as it is affected by a
number of factors, including:
The amount of alcohol you drink
The period over which alcohol was
consumed
Your body mass
Whether or not you have eaten
Your fitness levels
The health of your liver.
If you do have a drink, as a guide:
Men should not drink more than 2
standard drinks in the first hour and 1
standard drink every following hour.
Women should not drink more than 1
standard drink every hour.
Note: Learner and provisional drivers must have
a zero BAC when driving.
