Non Alcoholic Beer Urged For Christmas Drivers
The National Safety Council warns that many fatal Christmas season crashes involve drinking and proposes non alcoholic beer as a safer option for those planning to drive. Projections show 200-250 lives lost during the 30 hour holiday, with 43,000 road deaths expected in 1963 and injuries around 1.6 million. An expert suggests pool driving with a designated teetotaler driver, a system already used in Sweden where drinkers face jail and transport home by police.
