Rounding out the worst five states in the three-year survey, North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota.

The most sober drivers are found in Utah, the only state with fewer than 10 per cent of drivers saying they have gotten behind the wheel after drinking.

Several southern states are in the top five, including West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky and North Carolina.
