If we don't have Brett at least we have our Beer.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette has taken time out of Favrewatch 2008 to run a series called: "State of Drinking: How Our Love Of Alcohol Shapes Our Cultural Landscape." It might also give you an idea on why people in Wisconsin gather to discuss Brett Favre and hold rallies to bring him back......it's a great excuse to drink.

Nothing goes better with beer than talking about Brett Favre. Maybe this little map will help give you a better understanding of the culturally superior breeding you are going against in beer slamming competitons.

Looking at the rankings from this map, Wisconsin puts up these respectable numbers:

Overall Ranking - 1st out of all 50 states
Binge and Heavy Drinking - 1
Underage Drinking - 2
Arrests for Alcohol Related Crimes - 4
Liquor Licenses Per Capita - 4

Check out in comparison to Florida:
Overall Ranking: 36.....weak....
Binge and Heavy Drinking....30
Underage Drinking.... 37
Arrests for Alcohol related crimes.....39

JW's Home State
Overall Ranking: 48
Binge and Heavy Drinking: 41
Alcohol arrests..... 23

How is Georgia...a well known Redneck state have such a clean slate??????

For the New Yorkers:
Overall Rank: 37

Unfortunately, for some reason Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic were not available for testing..........But I think it is safe to say they have contributed in some way.

Three reasons Georgia has such a clean record.

1. Dry counties - a county that does not serve any alcohol.
Beer and Wine counties - are counties that only sell beer and wine and liquor by the glass.

2. GOD
The great state of Georgia is still a very religious place, most of the state has rules against drinking on Sunday. "Blue Laws"

The final reason, and perhaps my favorite and least favorite reason
3. The Good Old Boy (GOB) network
This is a great network to be a part of because once you are in you can never leave, unless you go outside of the three county area. This network is people who know people, example drunk- "my daddy is sheriff in Bulloch County," PIG- "well shit son why didn't you say something earlier, let me follow you home"

My dad was never sheriff.

That is just a little example of why Georgia is suck a low alcohol related problem state, unlike you damn Yankees!

JW, are you voting for Valdosta, GA as Titletown USA on ESPN right now?

J Dub said...

No Valdosta is full of cheaters! They use to hold kids back in the eighth grade so that they would be a year bigger there "freshman" year, plus they already would know the plays cause middle school football is just a small version of high school football.

Koko said...

That Titletown this is retarted. Of course it's Green Bay. Do they really expect people to respect anything else.

Sometimes ESPN thinks they're too influential.

Hmmm, I figured it out. What else is there to do in -20 degree weather? Ans: Stay inside and drink your sorrows away.

Remind me to bring a bottle of Dominican rum to gators. I'll show you what we got.
