Sammamish, Washington, Oct. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 37 people die in drunk-driving crashes every day in the U.S. – that’s one person every 39 minutes. In 2022 alone, 13,524 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving accidents, and many more were injured. Tragically, these deaths were entirely preventable. CertsUniversity.com believes that better bartender education can play a crucial role in reducing these numbers
“Alcohol is a substance that impairs thinking, reasoning, and muscle coordination, all of which are essential to driving safely,” says the NHTSA. At a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 grams per deciliter (g/dL), a person’s crash risk increases exponentially, which is why it’s illegal to drive with a BAC of 0.08 or higher in every U.S. state.
With DUI rates remaining high, CertsUniversity.comannounced a new range of interactive alcohol server certifications. The company’s new education program is designed to teach bartenders how to monitor alcohol consumption, identify signs of intoxication, and handle difficult situations, such as refusing service to impaired customers.
“Being a responsible bartender is more than just pouring drinks—it’s about ensuring the safety of customers and the public,” said a spokesperson from CertsUniversity.com. “By equipping bartenders with the tools to manage alcohol service responsibly, we believe we can make a real impact in reducing the number of drunk-driving incidents and saving lives.”

This approach is highlighted in the licensed training providers’ curated selection of game-based certification courses that were created with the help of state officials to ensure the most relevant content, laws, and practices.
“Understanding the difference between tipsy and drunk can be important for many reasons, from ensuring an individual’s safety to making informed decisions about their continued alcohol consumption.
