Free Alcoholism Hotlines in Michigan.
In a 2018 study published by USA Today titled America’s Drunkest States, Michigan ranked tenth. According to the study, 1 in every 5 Michigan adults reported excessive drinking in the last month. What’s more, an astounding 29.4% of all fatal automobile accidents involved alcohol. This amounts to about one in-state fatality from drunk driving every single day.
