Background
In 2022, more than half of the drivers who died in traffic accidents in Spain had consumed alcohol, drugs, or psychotropic medications, with a notable increase in the presence of antidepressants and opioids. Additionally, 72.6% of those who tested positive for alcohol had extremely high levels, and nearly half were between 25 and 45 years old. To address this issue, Diageo, AESLEME, and CIFAL Málaga have launched awareness sessions at the Local Police Office to educate drivers about the dangers of impaired driving. Their collaboration aims to change the driving habits of up to five million people by 2030.
