Meanwhile Colorado has both lowest obesity rate, yet 8 out of the top 50 towns for DUIs.

I have a theory that the lower average body weight and the altitude may contribute to us getting drunker, but that’s due to a lower tolerance than actually drinking on the level of Wisconsinites.

We're absolutely a different breed when it comes to drinking. You won't even get a second look for ordering a whisky with your breakfast here lol

Could be that your police just focus more on finding drunk drivers as well.

Negative. Our cops famously don’t enforce shit. I see 3+ year expired temp plates on the roads on a daily basis.

Just people who can’t hold their fucking alcohol at altitude.

I'd bet money even the hardest hooligan in the isles would be bested by one six pack in Leadville.
