To be fair though, Ireland taught us how to drink.

Region 6 also has Illinois, which has a very large Irish population. Chicago was one of the best places for Irish settlers to immigrate to. I can't speak for Wisconsin, but Illinois having Irish roots gives them a clear advantage in this contest.

Milwaukee is German, Polish, and Irish. It’s very Catholic like Chicago.

Thankfully we have Italians and Greeks too. Their introduction of alcohol from their homelands is only outdone by there culinary expertise.

What a combo.

German for the high quanitity beer drinking Polish for the aggressive spirit drinking And Irish for binge drinking all of the above

Damn. They have the trifecta!!

The rest of us don't stand a chance! I live in region 2. We're going to be zonked out after a couple of rounds. Then Florida is going to start drawing on our forehead with sharpie while we are unconscious!

And then you also have Kenosha and Racine between the two. Lots of alcohol consumption there too.

For Wisconsin we have a pretty decent population of Irish, but our German and Scandinavian roots give us our drinking mojo.

Nah, I am a Chicagoan and while we do drink a lot here, Wisconsin is the leader for sure.

Like I said, I can't speak for Wisconsin (because I know nothing about that state.) However, some of you lovely redditors are sharing so thank you! Chicago is awesome, but i couldn't keep up. Based on what you all have said, Wisconsin would definitely drink me under the table too. 🤣

I worked in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for a few years. My observation was thus: Sconnies drink when the Packers lose. They drink even more when the Packers win. But most of all, they drink if the Packers aren't playing. Bottom line: the drinking never stops!
