They are also called package stores in Massachusetts.

I would like to see this chart, but without any Bud, Miller, Coors products. I suspect VT and NH would still be at the top, but MA would jump up a lot, along with Oregon. CT would be higher too.
 
It would be interesting to see total alcohol consumption. Maybe people in the Midwest don't drink wine or don't drink vodka, for example.
 
SOME people in the Midwest drink beer, wine, and vodka.
 
Florida - 3rd in total consumption! I'm doing my part. Cheeseburger in Paradise at Landshark Bar, Margaritaville, Hollywood Beach.

Heat Index says 103 right now. Just starting the 4.25 day weekend. These make for a good start to the afternoon.

Yes, Nick's finally reopened after about a year and a half to renovate.
This is an old pic. The place was a bit too . . . corporate for me.

I was always happy when I got a seat at the bar at Nick's. When we went a few winters ago and it was closed, I didn't know what to do with myself.
 
The 3 northern NE states are in the Top 7 while the 3 southern NE states the bottom 10?

Like 68 I know I've done my part in both CT and MA, still attempt to on occasion. But I have lost the ability to stay with beer especially in the summer when I have a couple then hit the White Claws, Arnies on the course!

On the Broadwalk?! Too many choices. My favorite was O'Malley's Ocean Pub behind the Beach Resort. It closed because the property owners didn't renew their lease. The owners opened their own place at the same location, but failed to capture the same magic . . . or customers . . . and failed miserably.

It's one thing to drink a white claw. It's another thing to admit drinking a white claw.

Ouch. At least get a High Noon which at least advertises itself as a vodka mixed drink.

OTOH, you can probably flirt with beverage cart girls when you get the Claw.

I am totally fine with admitting I like White Claw Black Cherry on hot days as well as Bud Light Orange seltzers. I'm old can't drink 7-8 beers in a round when it's too hot. Of course at times I hit it like I'm drinking the Claws too.

High Noon? Not a fan have tried. I do occasionally add a Tito's nipper to a White Claw.

Any who rags on the seltzers I laugh at. They are refreshing and less calories while still being same alcohol content as beer. You can also add vodka floaters to up the ante

Been enjoying Lil' Dinghy Lemon Drops by narragansett lately. 9% they get dangerous because you can crush them and they are a vodka drink instead of malt like the seltzers and I love lemonade or Arnold palmers

@SoFla Steve @Waquoit If quality of beer consumed was part of it we know Florida would be near the bottom.

My favorite is Guinness Extra Stout draught (not can or bottle). My brother and I made a pilgrimage to The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin (and would have been there again in April had COVID not scotched our plans) just to taste what it's like fresh.

With that said, Guinness is a bit too heavy for the beach which is where my 3 or 4 . . . or 10 . . . favorite bars are. It's currently 87°, sun & clouds, breezy and humid. Perfect beer drinking weather. In fact, I'm headed to Hollywood Beach right now for a cold one. Signing off.
 
lets see... yesterday I had a couple of goose island oktoberfests late afternoon, went to the range with my son and we both had a couple of miller lites while hitting balls, next we went to dinner and I had two Trumer pils, then home on the deck with my son and wife I had two Miller High Lifes and an Oktoberfest. I like beer. BTW, my son tells me the new 20 something drink is a Stiegl grapefruit radler(2.4abv) with a shot of vodka or gin.

Anecdotally, I'm not surprised. Very few of my friends (late 30s through early 40s) still drink beer. I haven't had a beer in three years. Scotch when it's cold, vodka when it's warm. Wine when out to dinner. Beer makes me lethargic, bloated, etc. Even after 1-2. Many of my friends had the same experience as they got older and we all ditched the stuff.

The current hard seltzer rage is kinda funny. Just make your own with your choice of seltzer and vodka. I've been drinking that for a long time in the summer and it tastes better than any hard seltzer out of a can I've tried. Or go vodka soda with an orange slice or any other fruit of choice.

That's your problem right there. One and two are only to get you to three, and that's where it all comes together.
 
I went to Lawson's last week to scoop up some Little Sip. Also grabbed Double Sip and Hopzilla. Hopzilla is my favorite of the three by far, and now I wish I got more. Wanted some Hopcelot but it wasn't available to order for pickup.

I had my first full beer in around a year this past weekend: Lawson's Double Sunshine. It was worth it. Very, very nice beer that reminded me of everything I used to love about beer.

I also tried a taste of Eyes of Lust, a wonderful hoppy blonde ale from Watson Farmhouse Brewery. I read that he is also the head brewer at the new Newsylum Brewery in the old Fairfield Hills in Newtown. That definitely looks like a destination to hit.

Yep, my friend brought me back a mixed case from Lawson's (Little Sip, Double, Hopcelot) and Alchemist (Heady, Rapture). Hopcelot the best I think, drank one of the four and simply had to have another immediately.
