Michigan is cold as hell. It's so cold that lakes just freeze overnight in the winter. Can you imagine skinny dipping and all of a sudden you're frozen? Then again, what are you doing skinny dipping in Michigan in the winter? It's not a surprise people would drink heavily. When the hater and blanket aren't doing the job you gotta move onto binge drinking.
20% is one fifth of the population, in case you're not a math nerd. That means one out of five people are down to part on my level. I say we head down to Lansing this December and party all night. We can even go skinny dipping- oh, wait. Nevermind.
