The website NoDUIColorado.org is out with its latest statistics about driving under the influence in the state. Included is data featuring the average blood alcohol content of DUI arrestees in every Colorado county, and the numbers in the top ten are all more than twice as high as the legal limit — figures that are truly disturbing.
See photo-illustrated listings for each of the ten counties with the drunkest drunk drivers, featuring NoDUIColorado.org graphics. Note that when multiple counties registered the same average, we used the number of DUI busts as a tiebreaker.
