Some of my old drinking buddies from my hometown of East Helena, Montana, are bound to be disappointed. To be sure, they did their part, but, apparently, the rest of Montana held them back.
In a
recent study comparing alcohol consumption state by state, Montana ranked 5 down
from the top of the list.
The
study, conducted by The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, determined
the annual gallons of alcohol consumed per capita in each state. Surprisingly, New Hampshire, with a measure
of 4.67 gallons, placed number 1 on the list.
Not
surprisingly, Washington DC landed at number 2, with 3.77 gallons consumed annually
per capita. What goes on there can’t be
done in a state of sobriety.
To
land in the number 5 position, Montana tallied 3.1 gallons.
Utah
came in at 1.35 gallons, which ranked it as the state with the lowest
consumption.
Fortunately,
here in Montana, cows (which we call “cattle”) still remain more numerous than
people.
