What State In America Drinks The Most Alcohol In A Given Year?
(source) Here are some pretty sobering statistics: American alcohol consumption has been steadily rising over the past couple of decades, and the National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism said in their annual report this year that the average American aged 14 and older drank 2.33 gallons of alcohol in 2012. So which American regions and states are the drunkest? The western region of the United States comes in at number one, with the average Western American consuming 2.42 gallons of alcohol per year. But when it comes down to individual states, the answers may surprise you
10.Idaho-2.76
09. Colorado -2.76
08.Alaska-2.82
07.Vermont-2.92
06.Montana-2.96
05.Wisconsin-3.00
04.Nevada-3.27
03.North Dakota- 3.42
02.Delaware-3.59
01.New Hampshire- 4.65
New Hampshire? Well that’s a shocker. I would have put my money on Alaska being number 1. I was almost positive that was all Alaskans did. Sit in igloos, get loaded and hunt for seals. But New Hampshire? Weird. I think of New Hampshire and I think of Johnny Cakes and Vito driving around topless on their motorcycles, not hardcore boozers.
Anyway, how the Barstool Cities/States fared.
37.New York-2.17
Do you even drink bros?
35.Maryland-2.21
Daquiri shots anyone?
33.Pennsylvania-2.26
Expected more out of Pennsylvania what with Smitty getting in a chugging contest every weekend. Amish probably fucked this one up.
26.Illinois-2.36
Living the perfectly average life. Can handle that, remember, no one likes a hero.
24.Iowa-2.39
This seems low, what else do people do in Iowa do besides drink Natty Ice and blog?
19.Massachusetts- 2.57
The Barstool winner, can only imagine what Hank will do to this number now that he’s 21, just kidding he blacks out after about 2 sips.
PS
West Virginia coming in 49th is the ultimate upset. Guess Nazi militia cults don’t drink?
