Las condiciones del clima de invierno invernales hacen que manejar sea peligroso, y el alcohol aumenta aún más ese riesgo.

Más de uno de cada cinco adultos en Oregón consume alcohol en exceso, una cifra superior a la que muchos imaginan.

Winter weather makes driving risky, and alcohol adds to that risk.

More than 1 in 5 Oregon adults drink excessively, and that’s more than many people expect.
