According to the NHTSA, one person in the United State is killed in a drunk-driving accident every 45 minutes, even though it is illegal to drink and drive in every single state.

If you are going to be out and about celebrating St. Patrick's day with alcohol, just know that every person is affected by alcohol differently.

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles states that the level of alcohol impairment depends on five conditions:

1. The amount of alcohol you drink

2. The amount of food you eat before or while you drink alcohol

3. The length of time you drink alcohol

4. Your body weight

5. Your gender

This St Patrick's Day, be smart and have a safe way home.
