    statistically, every seventh person you meet in Minnesota has had a DUI.

    I did the math and if you include every DWI from 1998-2017 you get ~11% of people. Though this isn’t accounting for the same driver getting caught multiple times so it’s probably lower.

    (counted the total to be 635,818)

    That’s genuinely a LOT higher than I thought it would be. Its ~1/10 and probably less if you include reoffenders but that’s insane.

    Also note that the punishment for getting caught for DWI in mini-soda is pretty light
