In 2023, 12,429 People Died in Alcohol-Impaired Driving Crashes

Miami, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - August 4, 2025) - Founded in 2020 by visionary entrepreneur Reynald Vito Grattagliano, the American Alcohol-Free Association (AAFSA) proudly celebrates five years of empowering people to live sober and healthier lives. Supported by Arkay Beverages and Beyond Spirits, AAFSA has become a leading voice in the alcohol-free and zero-proof movement across the United States and beyond.

 

AAFSA

Created in response to the growing demand for health-conscious and alcohol-free alternatives, AAFSA serves as a community platform for both consumers and brands who believe in the benefits of sobriety.

"When we launched AAFSA in 2020, our mission was to inspire people to enjoy life without alcohol," said Reynald Vito Grattagliano, President and Founder of AAFSA. "Five years later, we are proud to see a growing community embracing zero-proof options, enjoying social moments without compromise, and making healthier lifestyle choices."

The Life-Saving Impact of Sobriety

Alcohol consumption continues to pose a major public health risk in the United States:

• Drunk driving kills 34 people every day-that's one person every 42 minutes.

• In 2023 alone, 12,429 lives were lost in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. (Source: NHTSA)

• About 20,000 U.S. adults die each year from alcohol-associated cancers, most of which could have been prevented by following recommended drinking limits. (Source: CDC)

These tragic and preventable losses destroy families and communities. Behind every statistic is a family grieving a loved one.

An Invitation to Beverage Makers: Join Forces for a Happier World

The American Alcohol-Free Association is calling on all beverage makers-alcohol-free producers, soda brands, and spirits companies-to join forces to prevent this ongoing tragedy.

"We want a happier world, and we want happy families-not families destroyed by the loss of their loved ones to alcohol-related tragedies," said Grattagliano. "Together, we can create a cultural shift where choosing alcohol-free options becomes the norm and where enjoyment never comes at the cost of a life."

Join the Movement

AAFSA invites leading alcohol-free and zero-proof brands to unite their efforts and accelerate the shift toward sobriety. Consumers and supporters are encouraged to join the association and access exclusive resources at www.americanalcoholfreespirits.org.

With the continuous rise of mocktails, alcohol-free spirits, and wellness-oriented socializing, the American Alcohol-Free Association is shaping the future of responsible enjoyment-where sobriety is a celebration, not a limitation.
