I tend to think it is a combination of things.
One other reason would be some people not familiar with the road they are on and get confused. I know I had to jam on the brakes at night, as I never saw the gate at Boone Ct . Fortunately, I stopped in time.
To blame alcohol as the only reason, is showing a bias for those, that do drink.
As we get older, some people are less sure of themselves, when operating a vehicle. Driving at night in TV is a lot different, than during the day.
BTW - I have never damaged a gate.
