They don't use their right to vote because they sell all their horses for booze and they can't ride into town, at least that's what Archie Bunker said.

Drunk man says hey, if I run into that window do you think I would break it. He tried it from the 17th floor of the Hyatt in Minneapolis. He only fell 16 floors because the concrete awning broke his fall. He was from Wisconsin and in town for the dart convention.

Au contraire. I'd bet a lot of money that blob in SD is Pine Ridge.  Illegal to drink there, IIRC, if a Tribal member, but the convenience store on the border of the rez was infamous for being one of the largest off-premises accounts A-B had.

Still disappointed no blob in NM.  I thought drunk driving was the state sport there?

You would be wrong. Pine ridge is right next to Rosebud reservation, both in the south west part of the state. The county shown is Stanly county. There's nothing really there, less than 3000 in the entire county. Cool bird hunting area for pheasant, grouse, and geese.

That map is BS. Pine Ridge and Rosebud are on a whole different level, nothing in Wisconsin compares. You drive through that area, and there are people walking down the road 10 miles from nowhere trying to get to the liquor store.

That shit is embarrassing.

From Wisconsin, amazing how once you leave you realize that a keg in the driveway for every birthday, Christmas, funeral, Thanksgiving, Tuesday get together isn’t normal in the rest of the world.

The really sad part is my fellow Wisconsinites treat these rankings like a badge of honor.

Flame suit on.

It's probably up there due to the Wisconsin hunters drinking there while pheasant hunting.

There are reservations all throughout those areas.


But we are a drunk-ass state outside the res too. I still remember taking a highschool field trip for a law class to the local courthouse to observe some pre-trial pleadings and of the 3 cases we had time to observe, 2 were for 5th offense DUI.

I remember someone here arguing that it was impossible to get a 5th DUI, or even more. Still one of the saddest e-arguments to 'win'.

Nothing really. My brother lives north of Hutchinson. The only thing mcleod county has is a really old school police. You get pulled over for speeding and they put your name and everything right in the newspaper there. Maybe they just catch more people drinking, but there's nothing special about that county. You get up north in MN, especially mining areas, like St. Louis counties, thats where you see the real heavy drinking.

Lots of folks from surrounding faming communities go to Hutch for a night out.
There's a shit pile of bars in town and outskirts.
Drinking is just what you do there. Especially if driving.

They actually included Alaska in the map, but didn’t bother to attempt/release the data on it. Should be lit up like a xmas tree.

Others don’t generally include Alaska… Which I understand, because Alaska has only been a state for 65 years.

Years ago, a friend's son got in trouble for doing something really, really stupid and got arrested for it. (And I mean stupid, not harmful. No one was hurt or in danger of being hurt, no property was damaged, no malice was intended, everyone thought it was funny.)

Anyway, I went with this friend to get her kid out of juvenile. The officer there said, "We did drug test him and he's clean, so that's good." And I said, "no it's not. Now he doesn't have an excuse." The officer laughed and said that he had thought the same thing.

Which brings me to my state and the other states at the bottom of the list. We can't blame alcohol, so, what's the deal?

I have been stationed in most states CONUS, 12 of those years were in Montana. Wisconsin must be DAMN sloshed to beat out MT.

Then again, most folks in MT dont quit during the day. So maybe the poll was night-timers.

I knew it before I opened the thread.

Hello Wisconsin!

We call beer Wisconsin water.

I live close to the smallest village in America with a brewery. The drinking culture is strong up here too. There's lots of activities going on sponsored by the bars and with the bars - charties and the such. The UTV and ATV trails that run between the towns have side trails to the bars (and restaurants, gas stations, and tourist stuff) in towns. Some towns allow them on all the streets, others to designated ones or alleys only to-and-from. In the winter (when we get enough snow) the trails are groomed and the snow machine season starts up and bars open for the club runs.

When I drive by some of these places there will be a dozen or more side-by-sides and twenty people enjoying adult beverages out in the bar's patio having a good time.

Well, I wouldn't want to ARock myself, probably already on lists somewhere anyway, but I've lived in 3 of the 11-20 bracket.  All 3 have hard-core German heritage blue collar cities plus a college or colleges.  Looks like the county that has Decorah Iowa scored there too, I have a co-worker that went to Luther, and he says that they've really adopted a drinking culture up there in the last 25 years - it was much more puritanical in his opinion back in the day.  Wisconsin was the last state to raise the drinking age, all about the $.  It's astounding the # of way huge multiple DUI arrestees here.  I know a guy whose got a 4peat, but he's given up the booze altogether.  Raising kids have to make damn sure to set a good, no exceptions example and have clear expectations around not getting behind the wheel, or riding with someone whose been tipping them back.
