Study reveals the worst states for drunk driving

Hi again The Auto Channel News Team,

In 2020, nearly 40% of fatal car accidents on holidays involved a drunk
driver. So with the holiday season upon us, Forbes Advisor analyzed data to
reveal the states that have the highest and lowest rates of drinking and
driving.

We found that Montana tops the list of the most dangerous states for drunk
driving, while D.C. is the safest.

We also learned that almost 40% of American drivers have witnessed friends
or family members drive home drunk from a holiday party.

See how the rest of the country stacks up in the full report
