This is a bogus table. It looks at road deaths caused by alcohol and not the bigger picture which is death by non alcohol related accidents, which are very high in Hungary. Despite thorough driving exams, Hungarian drivers are, by and large, terrible drivers. Impatient, careless and taking unnecessary risks.
This table is more accurate and from a reliable source, Statista. https://www.statista.com/statistics/323869/international-and-uk-road-deaths/
