About 30 Percent of Accidents in South Carolina Involve Alcohol
South Carolina- About 30 percent of crashes in South Carolina were caused by motorists who were under the influence of alcohol.*
One report placed South Carolina in fifth place for most drunk drivers on the road. States that performed worse than South Carolina include Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana, which snagged the number one spot in terms of drunk driving.
One study indicated that 291 people died in 2018 in drunk driving-related collisions in South Carolina. North Carolina performed slightly better. While the state tragically lost 421 people in drunk driving wrecks when accounted for per population size, the rate of fatalities was lower, and the state fell into fifteenth place.
