Maybe we can take a leaf out of China’s law administration book to curb drunk driving. The number of drunk driving cases in China has dropped by 40 percent over the last year after stricter punishment was imposed through an amended law, an official said. Police across China handled 368,000 drunk driving cases since May 1, 2011, when China’s amended Criminal Law took effect, the Beijing News quoted Huang Ming, vice minister of public security, as saying Wednesday.  Also Read - Dry January: Why giving up on alcohol in 2021 is a good idea?

The cities of Beijing and Shanghai both witnessed a sharp drop of 70 percent in the number of cases, according to Huang.  In 2011, drunk drivers caused 3,555 traffic accidents and 1,220 people were killed, representing a year-on-year drop of 18.8 percent and 37.7 percent, respectively, official statistics show, reported Xinhua. The amended law defines all drunk driving occurrences as criminal offences, even if the act does not result in a traffic accident.  Under the current law, drunk drivers risk having their driver’s licenses permanently revoked if they cause a serious accident, while the earlier version of the law imposed a license suspension of three to six months for drunk drivers.  Also Read - Steer clear of frozen cocktails and milk shakes if you are over 40



According to the current law, drivers who have at least 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood in their body are considered drunk. Also Read - Want to live longer? Drink half a pint of beer every day
