    Montana is highest in the US.

    It should be noted that the rubes in both states drink shitty corporate beer for the most part.

        Spotted cow is also one of the top ten craft brewers by volume in the US. They do not distribute outside of Wisconsin to my knowledge.

        I’m assuming this is based on sales of alcohol. NH has state run liquor stores (they sell all kinds of alcohol, not just liquor, but are the only stores that can sell things stronger than wine/beer). They have no sales tax, and are generally cheaper than liquor stores in all of the surrounding states.

        Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts residents regularly cross the state line to buy in NH, and NH makes it convenient with stores close to the borders and near highways.

          Yeah, and looking at the global stats, the 2019 ones seem equally dubious in some ways, being mostly lower and rounded the same way. But to WI’s consumption, they also have lower taxes relative to IL and MN.

          Plenty of places like Eastern Europe, people make their own wine at home. That’s going to skew them, already high, higher in reality.

          Just personally, the UK is just fucking professional at drinking. Despite the fact they aren’t even in the top 10 globally. I know that upper-Midwest drinking a touch, but it’s just not the same.
