Hard to believe Dubuque, Iowa won the prize …

How drunk are you?

Well, now you know why your nation is in the “state” it will be in soon. Over 20% of adults were too pissed to vote on Election Day. And now they are drinking even more cuz of their stupidity.
(Just wondering if you have any stats on excessive drug use in each state? There aren’t many sane people left in this worod, I don’t think!)

Did we drink too much to vote… or are we drinking too much due to the outcome of the voting?
Tough call.

Both, I think. Just different groups.

There’s a fascinating site that has drinking by gender in each country. The male percentage is up to 3 times that of women:https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/alcoholism-by-country

We had a trip planned to Dubuque for our anniversary last fall. Hotel was booked and everything, but at the last minute, we decided to save money and stay home. We do hope to make it there this year though.

If you’d gone to Dubuque, you’d only be 3 ½ hours from Austin, MN, home of Spam!

Ahhh…..stop posting so loud 😵💫. One too many Cape Cods and three of my idiot neighbors popping fireworks until 2:30am. Okay I only had two Cape Cods, but stayed at home to enjoy them 😉. But the asshole neighbors scared my cats so much, they still are under my bed 🤬.

No fireworks here thankfully. Though it’s pouring rain so that might have helped.

The mortars started here at 6pm. Midnight was bad but slowed down quickly. It’s 8:30am and at least 3 indoor cats are still hiding.

I find it even more funny that the “drunkest” states are North of the Mason-Dixon line. I guess there is little to do during the winter months.

I’ve actually been to Dubuque once – many years ago, for a conference for work. I thought it was a lovely city although my American colleagues were making jokes – apparently it was a hilarious idea to host a conference there?!? Anyways, it did inspire some heavy drinking on their parts 😂. Happy 2025, Rivergirl!

I celebrated the new year in Greenwich Mean Time so I could go to bed early and sober. Wisconsin is the world’s biggest market for Korbel Brandy. Half of their entire output is drunk here. Overall Wisconsin drinks more brandy than any other state. Per capita, DC drinks even more.
Meanwhile, I had to ride 10 miles to find an open coffee shop on my New Year Ride. It is packed, being maybe the only place open this morning.

I was surprised how many places were open here today.

I do drink more when I’m in Iowa, but that’s because I’m visiting my brother and he always has the best tequila. Later each year, we meet in Pittsburgh – maybe it’s us!

As I remember Iowa has a lot of meat packing industries – jobs I wouldn’t want to do sober. Of course we drink here in CA – we’re surrounded by vineyards! It’s our patriotic duty. HNY!!!

I doubled my yearly alcohol consumption this past year. I had two drinks (Electric screwdriver) last night, Egg nog with Bulleit Bourbon, (That bottle’s gonna last a while) and a family size bottle of Stella Artois on my Birthday. I almost caught an alcohol buzz last night, maybe I should switch to vodka.
