Walking back after a few may not be the best idea either, shocking figures revealed that 32 pedestrians were killed and 153 were hospitalised with serious injuries during 2020 with RACQ pleading with Queenslanders to avoid walking home drunk this New Year’s Eve.

Club spokesperson Clare Hunter said Department of Transport and Main Roads data revealed alcohol was a factor in around 30 percent of pedestrian deaths.

“Almost one third of pedestrians killed on our roads have a blood alcohol reading of 0.05, which is a sobering thought,” Ms Hunter said
