2800 BC is the first recorded record of a drunk driving fatality. In ancient Egypt, an inebriated charioter was apprehended after running down a vestal virgin of the goddess Hathor. The culprit was crucified on the door of the tavern that sold him the beer, and his corpse allowed to hang there until scavengers reduced it to bones
