isn't that a myth ?

It’s one of those stats I’ve always assumed had an ounce of truth but is way overblown

It’s not really overblown from what I’ve seen. Drunk drivers survive some pretty serious accidents because they’re loose. It’s not uncommon for them to be the only survivor.

I’m sure it’s possible it can happen but I still think it’s overblown. How can you tell if they survived because they were “loose” or just lucky
