We then looked at people in those cities who requested car insurance quotes at Insurance.com, and calculated the percentage of people in each city who reported having at least one alcohol-related violation.

Re: U.S. cities with the most drunk driving offenders
when I lived down there(2-3 years ago) they had DUI check points all the time. It would amaze me the number of people that would try to go through them drunk, and be sitting on the side of the road when you went by.
