50 American States Ranked By Alcohol Consumption

START SLIDESHOW

I've heard people from other countries say that Americans don't know how to drink. To be fair, it's been mostly Australians and Irish people who say that, and they can say whatever they want when it comes to drinking. They are currently wearing the crown and I don't see that changing.

Still, when I went to Belize they said the same thing. American don't know how to drink? Have you ever seen a white girl named Bethanie stumbling around Hollywood at midnight in a stained cocktail dress after drinking 18 birthday cake shots? She knows how to put them down, although I wouldn't be taking any drinking tips from Bethanie unless you want alcohol poisoning.

The truth is that Americans definitely know how to drink, which doesn't always turn out the best (high alcoholism and car wreck rates). To find out which state may be best for your drinking style, here are America's drunkest states according to a recent study. #1 is a total shocker!

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
