Designated Drivers Bad At Designated Driving, Drinking

“To study the habits of designated drivers, researchers at the University of Florida in Gainesville went out into the field, spending six nights surveying bar-goers in an unnamed college town in the Southeast…. The researchers found that 40 percent of the designated drivers had been drinking. What’s more, 18 percent had blood alcohol levels of .05 percent or higher and 17 percent were between .02 and .049 percent.”
