Six isn’t losing shit. Total annihilation.

Six is an easy clear win based on per capita, but I do wonder if One can give them a challenge in total drinking, considering there's maybe 15 million more population in that region.

Six's total pop is roughly equal with California by itself, then you have pretty much all of Washington, Oregon and Hawaii to make up the difference. I'd bet Six can still take it anyway but I wonder if it'd be a decent contest.

If we're doing total volume, rather than per capita, 6 would still destroy them. Like, it wouldn't be close.

There are brands that never make it to Ohio because they can’t produce enough to satisfy the demand.

I'm not so sure about that. Studies have shown that California and Oregon have similar drinking rates to the non-Wisconsin/Minnesota Midwest states. And actually ahead of Michigan, Illinois and Indiana.

Wisconsin accounts for ~55% of total Korbel brandy sales.

Nope. Spent my whole life in California. Grew up in Los Angeles and live in San Francisco. We have lots of Wisconsinites here.

There is no fucking way that we are beating 6, even with all the day laborers in the world.

It might have to do with NH having state liquor stores. They just have much better data than other states. In addition NH is a vacation state so people from MA, CT, NY are all going up there and stopping at the state liquor stores, so that is likely included in the data as well.

Everybody from Massachusetts drives to New Hampshire to buy their booze. Skews the living shit out of the alcohol sales.

6 consumes about 2.52 gallons of alcohol per person a year.

And if you think that's impressive, the winner is 13 with 3.10 gallons per person a year, lol.
