Ansewr:

Traffic fatalities related to alcohol were increasing.

Explanation:

Every year, in the U. S. on average, there are 25% of all deaths from traffic crashes are related to alcohol-impaired driving. This presents a huge problem for the society which should be tackled as hard as possible. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes amounts to more than 44 billion dollars.

The joint cooperation between federal, state and local institutions regulates the implementation of alcohol usage, especially alcohol cosumption while driving. There is a Federal Uniform Drinking Age Act of 1984, which sets the minimum legal drinking age to be 21 and every state must abide by that standard.
