SUMMARY

In the present work we carried out a bibliographical research on the connection between the consumption of alcoholic beverages by people who drive motor vehicles in Brazil, and how this behavior correlates with the high traffic fatality rates experienced in the national reality. Furthermore, we compared the evolution of the response that Brazilian legislators have given to this type of conduct. In the end, we analyzed the effects of such legal measures that aim to combat violence in traffic and what measures would be recommended to be more assertive in responding to this type of behavior with the aim of reducing traffic crime rates.
