We are drunk.

Wisconsin’s bar-to-grocery store ratio puts the rest of the country to shame

Drive around the state of Wisconsin and you’re probably more likely to come across a bar than a grocery store.
For Wisconsinites, this probably comes as no surprise, given the state’s well-documented culture of drinking. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel launched a multi-part series titled “Wasted in Wisconsin,” which documented just how drunk Wisconsinites tend to be, and how often they don’t know it.
Stacked up against the rest of the country, however, the picture is pretty stark. Wisconsin’s bars outnumber their grocery stores almost three to one, according to Google data mapped by FlowingData’s Nathan Yau.

Excelsior!
