Obviously I'm aware that correlation does not equal causation, hence, suggesting other reasons that the statistics have seemingly gone down. But if a program is implemented with the design to reduce alcohol related fatalities, and alcohol related fatalities continue to go down, there should be an onus on the person arguing that the program was a "superficial gesture" to provide some actual evidence contrary to the statistics.
