Those small town bars are often community hubs and stopping in with your kids in tow is normal and expected. No big deal. They also are sometimes the only "restaurant" in town, so everyone is welcome.

The Catholic schools around this part of WI all have portable bars adjacent to the gyms in their schools for fund raising events. Good friend is a kindergarten teacher at a Catholic school and talks of sitting down with teachers for a beer in her classroom.

it's beer miller time here

Been to a lot of collage games I'd say Madison Wisconsin gets my vote.

Not many states I really like on the wrong side of the Mississippi River, but WI is one. Maine is the other.
Before "micro brews" were popular one of the things I liked about WI was about every town had a brewery.

I still think Las Vegas serves more ethanol per annum than any other city.

I don't recall the exact numbers; but according to some medical that data that I have seen:

Two or three drinks in a day, or 6 or 7 in a week makes you an alcoholic.

Hi, my name is T-Rex, and I am an alcoholic.

Now I need to make a run to Wisconsin to pick up a jug of Everclear 195®. The gov doesn't think Minnesotans can handle it.

Not sure if it happens anymore. Tower/Sudan MN. The Municipal Liquor store had Happy Hour at 8 am. 3rd shift miners getting off. Man what a party. That was a great time.

I thought you had to get drunk to be an alcoholic

my normal is 2 miller lights a night sometimes 3 , 3-4 on weekends yet I can count on one hand the times I have even had a buzz this year

but I drink no pop, no juice , no sugar so really less than a slice of bread in carbs and calories a day. I hardly think that makes me an alcoholic.

beer is good for you. unless your the guy that drinks a case of Milwaukee's Best after work every night and 4-5 on the weekend

Bit of irony when a guy from Kentucky questions another state's production and consumption of alcohol.

(This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), and my wife conned me into buying a home in Wisconsin???

well when you get here , you want to meet and have a beer?

I grew up in a little town in Wisconsin in Oconto County called Klondike. It only had 4 corners. Just a cross roads. The four corners consisted of three Bars and a Church. No kidding.

No such thing having A beer in WI..

I think everyone needs to take a step back and drink Wisconsibly!

I made some Firewater for a wedding. Come to find out it was for a State Trooper. He became one of my best customers until he was transferred to the Capitol.

In Wisconsin you can walk into the Church Parking lot and see a Carnival and Band set up and Beer and drinking booths set up everywhere. First time I ever saw that one. My wife took me to it. I thought I was going to church and ended up at a Beer Church Fest!!!

The amount of alcohol one drinks is not the best indication of being an alcoholic. 85% of US adults can manage their alcohol intake within reason. Yes having x number of drinks per week may or can cause health issues.
Alcoholics drink or have alcoholism that effects the body and mind totally different then those who do not suffer from the disease. I am not responsible for my disease but I am responsible and accountable for the things I did and do because of my disease. I have been in recovery for 34 plus years and am gratful for the relief I get daily. Our family has a long history of alcoholism so wish I would have been smarter about the path I took.
I have had several people commend me for getting sober but over the 34 plus years in casual conversation or overhearing people talk, most really don't have respect for those of us who "are not man enough to hold our drinks".
It used to bother me when I heard all that two faced talk but finally just accepted that people are entitled to their behavior and thoughts. I am the only person that needs to remember I can't take a drink.

It can sure get a grip on you ,kinda sneaks up on you if you are not careful . When in high school my English teacher (a Nun ) asked me to read the short story "John Barley Corn " by Jack London .It has stuck with me for 60 years . Every kid should read it !
