Wet-Dry: Sexton responds to Peterson Commentary About: Doug Peterson: Urges NO vote 22 Mar 2016 Adair Co election By Shannon Sexton, Chair, Progress in Adair County (PAC) Personal Commentary In response to Doug Peterson's commentary, I would like to provide the attached statistics concerning Alcohol Related Collisions in Kentucky as well as Pulaski Co. Statewide from 2000-2014, many counties and cities in Kentucky voted to allow legal alcohol sales in some capacity. Those counties and cities are noted on the statewide graph. You can see a significant downward trend in alcohol related collisions statewide. The Pulaski Co. graph contains information from 1995-2014 and marks when Burnside and Somerset voted to allow the legal sale of alcohol. Again, you will see a downward trend in alcohol related collisions. This information was compiled from the Kentucky State Police annual reports and can be viewed by anyone willing to look it up online. I would also like to share the following links concerning Alcohol related collisions and dry counties. "In conclusion, by considering crash location and driver residence, these findings indicate that county-level prohibition is not necessarily effective in improving highway safety." Consideration of driver home county prohibition and alcohol-related vehicle crashes. "Records from the Kentucky State Police show that dry counties tend to have higher rates of DUI-related car crashes than wet ones -- presumably because when you live in a dry county, you have to drive farther to get your booze." These-places-banned-booze-now-theyre-dealing-with-something-far-worse "Kentucky State Police records show an interesting trend in the number of alcohol-related vehicle crashes in the area -- dry counties generally have higher rates of DUI-related crashes than their "moist" neighbors." www.thetimestribune.com/news/local_news/dry-counties-show-higher-rates-of-dui-related-crashes This story was posted on 2016-02-11 10:27:09
