I know its a far reach. But its for Proab and Stat class. It has a positive correllation but neither are causal so what third factor would increase diet coke consumption and traffic accidents

an excess of vodka. or a lowered drinking age you could use either.

If you mean what would cause a person to have an accident while drinking a diet coke, I would think if you opened the can and it sprayed all over, causing you to react, and swerve. Otherwise, maybe you drank it too fast, and got the hiccups, and again, lost control of the car for a minute.

I drink my Diet Coke with a splash of Jack Daniels sometimes…that could definately cause a wreck. Or…generally people on diets drink diet coke. Therefore they may be hungry and pass out while driving, therefore causing an accident.

if they suddenly took the caffeine out of all other sodas and coffee. the jittery people that didn’t get their dose of caffine and are getting the shakes from withdraw (yes you can get caffeine withdraw, it is a drug) would be more likely to get into traffic accidents because of being sleepy or the shakes (which can be real bad) the increase of diet coke would be because these addicts need their caffeine and when they found out that diet coke is the only one to have it still they would buy it by the truck loads. this is an odd question bye the way. took all my twisted logic to get somethig.

Are you looking for a third thing that would also be correlated but not causal? Or are you looking for a causal factor? For the former, you could say population…increased population would naturally lead to more diet coke consumption and more traffic accidents. If you want a causal factor, maybe number of people dieting? They’d be drinking diet coke instead of regular, and maybe they’re so hungry that they get distracted while driving….
the drinking age thing could also work. You reduce it to 16, now you have a bunch of high school girls making mixed drinks, and they’re going to use diet coke because they’re weight conscious. Now you have a bunch of drivers who are both young and drinking alcohol, leading to an increase in traffic accidents.

I’m going to go with Rum. People who drink rum sometimes drink it with coke. Those who drink rum and drive would probably have a traffic accident.
