Maryland is a real American hero, so that state can drink all it wants. Why is Maryland an American hero? Because of sacrifice. Maryland was one of two states to give up their land for Washington DC to exist. Thanks to Maryland we now have a place to go on big class trip in the 8th grade (note: I was too poor to go on my schools D.C. trip).
The adults drinking to excess is very high at 15.5 percent. With it being such a small state, that's a lot of people packed into one place drinking. Maryland is like a packed house party that just keeps going.
