Soccer is a very popular sport among Hispanics, and the Soccer World Cup -- held alternately in different countries every four years -- has become one of the greatest international competitions. Soccer World Cup 2006 will take place in Germany from June 9 to July 9 and it is expected to attract over 37 billion TV viewers around the world . In the United States, millions of people will watch the World Cup games at home or at commercial venues where the consumption of alcohol is likely to occur. In many instances, these gatherings will involve the combination of drinking and driving and may result in fatal crashes and injuries.
