Rams Fans Close Out Season By Pledging to Relax Responsibly -

12/30/2019

Responsible Rams fans celebrated a win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, December 29, 2019 to close out the season by pledging to prevent drunk driving and enter the Corona Extra Responsibility Has Its Rewards (RHIR) Sweepstakes. Fans autographed the responsibility wall and smiled for a souvenir photo as their pledge always to have a designated driver. Corona Extra and TEAM Coalition partnered with the Rams all season to promote responsible drinking at the Rams home games.

US DOT / NHTSA 2018 NATIONAL DATA:

In 2018, 10,511 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) car crashes, an decrease of 3.6% from the 10,908 fatalities in 2017.
Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.
Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
