California knows how to party. Just like the Tupac song says. Go look it up for proof. It's easy since the song is even called "California Love." You only have to remember one extra word. It's a specific type of partying though. Californians will drink all day on Sunday, and then eat vegan for the rest of the week to make up for it. In fact, the concept of brunch doesn't exist in California if you're not talking about bottomless mimosas.
Californians are right at the national average for excessive drinking and have a fairly high percentage of adults in poor health considering it's a state that is known for healthy foods.
