If there's any state I'm likely to forget when I'm listing them all, it's West Virginia. Anytime you throw a direction in with the state name I get a little forgetful that it exists. I can't reward that kind of lack of originality, but then again West Virginia only exists because the people there weren't down for slavery, so big ups to them. Maybe West Virginians drink so much because they're still celebrating the civil war victory. That seems a bit excessive, but who am I to judge one's drinking habits?
I'm going to grab a six pack and head over to a national park in West Virginia next time I'm passing through. Don't worry, I won't litter.
