Some of these stats don't seem very fair to Hawaii. It is literally a place that people go to so they can relax and drink. That 20.5% of adults drinking to excess is just all those tourists coming and downing pina coladas. Then they leave and go die back in their homes, which makes sense of their 7th lowest rating in adults with poor health. See? It all makes sense when you do some digging.
The beautiful Hawaii does show us one of its demons though. Their alcohol-related driving deaths are the fifth highest at 38%. I'd like to see the data on alcohol-related surfing deaths. That's one thing you won't catch me doing. I will drink while playing basketball or even bullfighting, but if you think I'm going up against the ocean drunk, then you've got another thing coming.
