"Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk" was the cheer recited by Vikings fans at the NFL draft party Saturday, April 28th. The Minnesota Vikings, Miller Brewing Company, and TEAM Coalition partnered to educate Vikings fans about the importance of designating a driver, buckling up, and demonstrating positive fan behavior. And the spokespeople for this important message were the Vikings fans themselves.

US DOT / NHTSA 2004 NATIONAL DATA:
  • In 2004, 16,694 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related car crashes
  • Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.
  • Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
