Not as many as they'd like you to believe.
Alcohol-related traffic accidents are far different than alcohol-caused. Alcohol-related means any driver or non-occupant had ANY alcohol present in their system. Alcohol caused means they were over the legal limit, usually .08%.
Depending on the year 10 to 20 percent of all traffic fatalities are alcohol caused, being misguided but equal and equating half of those are teenage drunk driving deaths gives us around 2500 deaths. Realistically I'd imagine less than 25% of drunk driving incidents could be attributed to teenagers which leads us to a number more around 1250 deaths.
These numbers seem to be on the rise in recent years though.
