I don't think that is true at all. If so, it means that all these DUI laws have not worked very well, or there must have been a 98% rate at some time. Please cite a source for this (not one from MADD).
About 40% of accidents "involve alcohol". The definition of "involving alcohol", however, is rather broad and includes any accident in which anybody present had a BAC of over 0.00. Given that many accidents occur at times when many vehicles have at least one person in them who has had at least something to drink, a 40% "alcohol-related" accident figure should not be surprising.
