Miller Brewing Company: Responsibility has been an integral part of our business strategy and corporate values for decades. We are committed to doing our part to reduce drunk driving, prevent underage access and promote responsible decision-making by legal drinking age consumers. We also strive to be an active, positive corporate citizen in the communities in which we live and work, engaged in activities that make a real difference in people's lives. www.millerbrewing.com.

WisDOT: Reducing fatalities and injuries from traffic crashes is a top priority of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Traffic fatalities in particular have been trending upward in the past several years. In 2003, motor vehicle crashes killed 840 people in Wisconsin, the highest yearly total since 1981. It's a trend the department aims to reverse by taking effective steps, including strict enforcement of traffic laws and promoting safe driving behavior through public education and information. www.dot.wisconsin.gov.

TEAM Coalition: an alliance of professional and collegiate sports, entertainment facilities, concessionaires, stadium service partners, the beer industry, broadcasters, governmental traffic safety experts, and others working together to promote responsible drinking and positive fan behavior at sports and entertainment facilities. www.teamcoalition.org.

NHTSA: (The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), was established by the Highway Safety Act of 1970, as the successor to the National Highway Safety Bureau, to carry out safety programs under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 and the Highway Safety Act of 1966. www.nhtsa.gov

US DOT / NHTSA 2005 NATIONAL DATA:
  • In 2005, 14,539 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) 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.
