The cheese state is number two? Who would have thought. Maybe the reason why people from Wisconsin are so friendly is because they are blitzed all the time. It would appear that way since one quarter of the population loves drinking to excess. Their stats are at 24.5%. Certainly we all enjoy a glass of chardonnay with a fine cheddar, but it turns out there's more people than I originally thought.
They're still pretty healthy though with only 14% of adults in fair or poor health. Looks like the cheese diet isn't the worst one for you. Without too much surprise Green Bay is the drunkest metro area, but given that their football team is the Green Bay Packers that's totally understandable.
Statistics :
Adults drinking excessively: 24.5% - Alcohol-related driving deaths: 36.9% (8th highest) - Adults in fair or poor health: 14.0% (13th lowest) - Drunkest metro area: Green Bay, WI
