I find this hard to believe, unless we are stretching the bounds of "involved" to mean that /any/ participant in /any/ event where-in they had /any/ alcohol detectable in their bloodstream is "alcohol involved". I don't see how alcohol could be the causative factor in this significant a number of fatalities, as someone who regularly consumes alcohol in safe ways. Maybe I'm simply not as reckless as most other people (other parts of my life would seem to indicate this may be true), but this is a huge statement that seems to be largely unsubstantiated in the article.
