NGOs are calling for stricter alcohol policies, including tax increases, bans on sales near highways, and prohibitions on advertising. They argue that these measures are essential because alcohol significantly increases the risk of severe accidents and fatalities for drivers and vulnerable road users, particularly during periods of high traffic such as vacations. Evidence shows that even low levels of alcohol in the bloodstream impair driving ability, leading to numerous traffic incidents and health problems. Daily averages reveal dozens of crashes linked to drinking, highlighting a critical public safety issue that endangers pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists across the country. This article is relevant to open data as it underscores the necessity of transparent, accessible statistics for evidence-based policymaking. By relying on rigorous data from institutions such as INEGI, civil society can effectively advocate for regulations. Open data empowers citizens to hold governments accountable, ensuring that public health decisions are grounded in factual evidence rather than speculation.
