I'm more surprised that Alaska isn't number one on this list. I think that the only reason it isn't number on on the list is because of the lack of accessibility to alcohol that the other states have. I have a cousin who lives in Alaska and if she wants to order a pizza she has to pay $80 and it comes via a plane. I don't think for a second that Alaska has $80 pizzas yet their craft beer selection is plentiful. Of course people are going to drink. I'm kidding, relax. Alaska is one of the most beautiful places on planet earth.
