DUI statistics in Canada
Drinking and driving is extremely common in Canada. Each year, 50,000 Canadians are arrested and charged for DUI, Refusal, and over 80.
How many incidents of DUI actually occur? Millions. There are people on the roads at all hours who are drunk. Some have blood alcohol levels significantly beyond the legal limit and yet go undetected because they drink privately, avoid spot checks, drive thrus, and follow the rules of the road. Many of these individuals have abused alcohol for a long time and have extremely high tolerance to high BAC levels. Even if a person has a high tolerance they are still drunk and very dangerous on the road. Sometimes these people get discovered and caught as a result of a third party's bad driving.
Drinking and driving is an offence committed by people of all backgrounds, ages, and education levels. Many DUI arrests are people with jobs, families, assets, and lives that are threatened when they get arrested for DUI. It is often a first time offence that many will not repeat.

In British Columbia, the provincial Government has enacted a program that allows some first time offenders to avoid a criminal record though this program as of 2020 does not exist in Ontario.
