ALCOHOL-LINKED TRAFFIC DEATHS STILL IN DECLINE

The number of people killed in alcohol-related traffic accidents continued
a decade-long decline in the United States in 1997, but alcohol was still a
factor in 39 percent of traffic deaths, officials said Thursday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta said 16,189
people were killed in alcohol-related traffic accidents in the United
States in 1997, a 6 percent decline from 1996.

Alcohol-related traffic fatalities have declined 32 percent since 1987,
when 23,641 people were killed, the CDC said.
