I see your point but I am not sure where you are going with this? Even if only 50% of the pedestrians killed were sober - isn't that enough of a crisis to act?

1500 children younger than 14 years died in traffic in the US in 2021.

- seanmcdirmid 3y agoIt’s the difference between saying “the crisis is getting worse!” And “we have a new crisis to deal with!” Also, understanding the components of the problem lead to you know, figuring out how to fix it, eg: https://www.kuow.org/stories/pedestrian-deaths-climb-in-seattle-despite-city-s-pledge-to-eliminate-them https://www.kuow.org/stories/pedestrian-deaths-climb-in-seat... I said this many times in other posts lately, but if Americans wanted to get serious about this problem, they would need a multi-faceted approach like the Dutch rather than just hoping drivers do the right thing (without focusing on road redesigns or pedestrian behavior also).
