Drunk Driving in Texas: A Widespread and Dangerous Problem 

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, drunk driving remains a leading cause of serious injury and fatal accidents across the state: 

• 1 in 4 traffic crashes in Texas involves alcohol 
• In 2021 alone, there were over 13,000 alcohol-related crashes 
• Hundreds of lives were lost, and thousands more were permanently altered 

While areas like Amarillo and Lubbock rank high in alcohol-related crashes, Galveston faces unique risks, especially during peak tourism months. The island's vibrant nightlife, festivals, and beach bars create more opportunities for irresponsible drivers to get behind the wheel after drinking. 

Why Galveston Is Especially Vulnerable 

Galveston draws millions of visitors each year. Many arrive for vacations, spring break, cruise departures, or weekend getaways. Unfortunately, alcohol is often part of the experience, and some visitors or locals make the tragic choice to drive impaired. 

Combined with: 

• Narrow coastal roads like Seawall Boulevard 
• Heavy pedestrian and bike traffic 
• Out-of-town drivers unfamiliar with the area 

…the danger of a drunk driving crash in Galveston is dangerously high. 

The Lasting Impact of a Drunk Driving Crash 

Victims of drunk driving accidents suffer more than just physical injuries. These wrecks often result in: 

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) 
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis 
• Severe burns or disfigurement 
• Emotional trauma, PTSD, and anxiety 
• Loss of income due to long-term disability 
• Wrongful death, leaving families devastated and searching for answers 

These aren't just personal tragedies; they’re community issues. The cost of these crashes affects emergency services, insurance premiums, hospitals, and taxpayers. 

The Financial Toll of Drunk Driving in Texas 

The CDC estimates that drunk driving accidents cost Americans over $100 billion every year. Texas, as one of the states with the highest number of impaired-driving crashes, contributes a significant share to that number. 

Those costs include: 

• Emergency medical care 
• Ongoing rehabilitation and therapy 
• Lost wages and job loss 
• Damaged vehicles and property 
• Higher auto insurance premiums 
• Funeral expenses in fatal accidents
