        approximately \1/3\ of all highway fatalities in the United 
        States each year;
            (2) in 2019, there were 10,142 alcohol-impaired driving 
        fatalities in the United States involving drivers with a blood 
        alcohol concentration level of .08 or higher, and 68 percent of 
        the crashes that resulted in those fatalities involved a driver 
        with a blood alcohol concentration level of .15 or higher;
            (3) the estimated economic cost for alcohol-impaired driving 
        in 2010 was $44,000,000,000;
