"In November 1983, the Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving, following in the footsteps of MADD, the National Safety Council (NSC), the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and the NTSB, formally recommended establishing a national drinking age of twenty-one in order to improve traffic safety" (Grant, 1984).

“These research findings played a key role in reversing the trend toward lower MLDAs. The justification for the FUDAA (Federal Uniform Drinking Age Act), espoused by organizations like the Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving, the American Medical Association, and the National Safety Council, was that higher MLDAs resulted in fewer traffic fatalities among 18-20 year olds” (Males, 1986).

• "The wine and spirits group of the Alco Standard Corporation, which produces and distributes alcoholic beverages, attaches this reminder to the labels of its beverages" "Enjoy in Moderation" (Kleinfield, 1984).

• "Although distillers and brewers try to sell Americans as much whisky and beer as they can many of these companies are openly aligning themselves with moderation campaigns. The distillers and brewers do this as a way to show concern about drunken driving and also to limit attacks on the alcoholic beverage industry" (Kleinfield, 1984).
