Not a good representation for the Badger State- I wouldn't blame it all on the College towns either: It looks like Iowa & Minnesota need to pick up the pace.

Green Bay, WI
Eau Claire, WI
Appleton, WI
Madison, WI
Fargo, ND/MN
Oshkosh-Neenah, WI
Missoula, MT
Grand Forks, ND/MN
Wausau, WI
La Crosse-Onalaska, WI/MN
Mankato/North Mankato, MN
Fond du Lac, WI
Iowa City, IA
Dubuque, IA
Sheboygan, WI
Watertown-Fort Drum, NY
Lincoln, NE
Fairbanks, AK
Ames, IA
Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, WI

Curious what their criteria was to determine that?

Also interesting that all the cities are in northern states.

Notice all of these cities are in places where you have 6 months of 4 feet of snow. What else ya supposed to do? lol.

They had some indices listed: Bars per capita, OWI's, alcohol sales by city, etc.
I forget but the number for Brandy sales and consumption for Wisconsin = something like 80% of total capacity

Noway any of those places beats Las Vegas Nv

I have seen similar numbers and cities before.

it is very much a culture thing for Wisconsin

it could be called cities over a given size in WI , very few cities not listed on that in the state and those that aren't are basically in the metro area for one of those larger cities.

you stop over to my yard to talk and I am going to offer you a beer.

go out for dinner and you order a beer

stop and chat at your grandpas house , get offered a beer

any party you go to there will be coolers of beer

we had a keg for my sons baptism party

go camping there will be beer in the cooler

take your kids to the bar , some even have toys for the kids

your local bar in many places is like the community living room for the neighborhood

this doesn't make you a drunk

it is the drink of WI

and drinking is a pass time in WI

Well said GCP

There more bars in Wisconsin then else where I would think.

Dang that's a lot of beer !!! Don't make it right....
I like the one about the keg at a baptism party !!
So I guess the survey was correct . State full of drunks ??

Wrong, drinking 1 or 3 beers at those events doesn't make you a drunk. It makes you a drinker.

Here is the ranking from drunkest to least drunk in full: Top 10 drunkest states.

Wisconsin
North Dakota
Iowa
Nebraska
Minnesota
Illinois
Massachusetts
Alaska
Hawaii
Montana

Again, pretty sure those lists don't differentiate between drinking a lot and being drunk. If they are measuring drinks per week, how do they know if you drink the same number every night, or hammer all your drinking in one binge session on a friday night?

I am not saying we don't drink a lot here in WI, we do. But it isn't a state full of slobbering drunks.

I'm sure it's a regional thing. But alcohol at a religious event just doesn't happen in my circle.
Guess it's like dropping F bombs. Northerners just talk like that and see no issues.

You don't drink wine at communion?

I've worked plenty in the South, f-bombs are everywhere. Don't tell me you don't cuss down there.

the baptism party , it was August , family was in from out of town.
we were serving brats so needed some to cook the brats also
I have a "small" family you know only 20-30 some first cousins 15 aunts and uncles and thats on my side if you add it the wife's side you get more.

I was just at my great aunts 90th birthday party 200-250 we boiled fish for 200 but they also had brats , hamburger sand hot dogs for the non fish eating weirdos in the family that was just my dads moms side of the family.

my grandparents church had beer tappers in the wall and a roll out bar for banquets and weddings in the church basement.

about every church festival here has a beer tent

city festival , yup beer tent also

softball tournament , yup beer concessions

county league baseball , the Lions clubs big fundraiser is the ball game concessions , beer in cans and brats and dogs and popcorn for food

You guys rock up in Wisconsin. Party on

I will put Browerville MN up against all. I can't believe it didn't make the list. They used to brag about the liquor store being the highest sales in the state.

I think it like a lot of the smaller cities , villages and crossroads in WI it is just too small to count.

plenty of places that have 4 corners 3 bars and church (not Baptist) , that the per capita consumption would be much higher than the cities

What I find is that when travelling, If I want a beer, I can stop at the next town in Wisconsin, Most any other state you have to use google and a map.

My question is fun drunk or Jesus Christ bro stop drunk ?
