Drunk walking Drunk walking describes people intoxicated by alcohol and walking in public spaces. Australians have coined the term "drinkwalkers" and recognize this as a public health concern. Whereas there are long standing social stigmas and laws against drunk driving, only more recently have the personal and social dangers of drunk walking become apparent. Pedestrians under the influence of alcohol may be less likely to use crosswalks and more likely to cross against the traffic lights. Alcohol use is connected to more severe injuries with longer hospital stays when they were hit.
