Beer for beer and shot for shot, when all 50 states belly up to the bar, few can hold their own with Wisconsin.
Binge drinking â?? weâ??re No. 1.
Percentage of drinkers in the population â?? No. 1.
Driving under the influence â?? No. 1.
We lag a few states in beer consumption, but weâ??re near the top. With brandy, itâ??s no contest. We put away more brandy per person than any other state. We have a strong claim on the vodka title, too.
And often we have no clue how drunk we are. Consider, for example, 75 drinkers who took a breath test for the Journal Sentinel. About half underestimated their blood-alcohol level, and when they did, they missed by a lot â?? falling short of their actual results by an average of 35%. Many who were over the legal limit for driving expressed full confidence in their ability to get behind the wheel.
