Interesting information. Thanks for posting.
Hahaha, I am directly responsible for several of these stats
That is nothing compared to some countries in Eastern Europe
My neighbor is a professor from Slovakia. He is on a vodka drip.
At least Mainers don't complain about hangovers. I give them credit for that.
I do believe that this is absolutely correct!. Here's a bit of trivia I recall from the time I spend in the state of Maine.
I was in the military at a base near Limestone, Maine. This base was located 5 minutes from the Canadian border. I'll let you look up a map where Limestone is located. You're were many miles from everything. There were quite a few drinking parties in the dorms while I was there. I still recall during the orientation the NCO giving the briefing told us that our base was the #1 base in all the CONUS bases for alcohol abuse. With so many new young airmen it wasn't hard to see how they might seek help to cope with the isolation with a beer or two.
Sad but true.
Maine produces Allagash Beer.
That's good enough reason to love Maine.

Since when is Blue Moon America's favorite beer? It doesn't even crack the top 20.

i didnt care much for blue moon when i tried it either
49 other states just said "oh yeah, we'll see about that" and cracked open a cold one.
Never even heard of "Blue Moon".

Here's a story only people from Maine (or who have visited) will get. My Brother in law and his wife were visiting from the UK and went to the supermarket for something. When they came back they asked why there was a whole aisle dedicated to Allen's Coffee Brandy! The most popular mixed drink in Maine is "coffee brandy and milk" (you may know it as a Sombrero). My ex-girl friend (a bartender) called it "fat *** in a glass".
Isklandertime, I know exactly what you mean! I spent 2 1/2 years in northern Maine while it the USAF.
Hmmm... Considering the top 4 states all have some of the lowest populations in the entire country I'm assuming this "study" was done on a percentage or per capita based basis. Seriously, Wyoming? Delaware? ALASKA???? LOL, ***.
There are strange things done 'neath the midnight sun, by the men who moil for gold. Them winters, on the other hand, are long, dark, cold and lonely. Kind of not much else to do, really.
What they don't tell you is that the Mainers buy all their booze in New Hampshire (what the locals don't drink up themselves that is) 
Police are the 4th more likely profession to be hungover on the job? That doesn't sound good.
My hometown in Maine was a 3x3 mile grid with 5 bars and about 2000 inhabitants. Nearest movie theater, mall, shopping center, was an hour away. That town may gotten to #1 all by itself.
Up there some towns don't even get names...just locations on the grid like T2R9...

+1. I commuted to Alaska for a couple of trials that I had. I spent at least 100 days there over the course of two years. I was impressed by how much the locals drank!
