Here are the Top 20 Heaviest Drinking cities in America, and the corresponding percentage of adults that drink excessively in them (see list below, as well as the URL link, from May 2016).
Right off, I see the top four are all in Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin appears again 8 more times.
So what's going on with Wisconsin? I mean, I do know Ted Cruz won the primary there over Trump by 13 points even though Trump set historical numbers across all 50 states.
Do they also drive while drunk in Wisconsin? Well, I checked with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and found Wisconsin is the only state in the nation where a first drunk driving offense is not a crime; rather it's just a traffic ticket. And they have drunks and drunk drivers.
I think it's the cheese. Cheese plus alcohol equals drunker drunks. Look at France. Anyone know what the hell is going on with Wisconsin?
Anyone here from Wisconsin or these cities?
I also see Corvallis, Oregon in there at number 20. Ever been to Corvallis?
Corvallis, where the German-American religious leader who called himself Joshua, founded a movement in Corvallis which became known locally as the "Holy Rollers". Corvallis, Oregon was ranked #48 on the 100 best places in the USA to live according to Fortune Small Business 2008. But it is full of drunks. So #48 "best places" but #20 on the drunk list. Hmmmm...
