Originally Posted By DAR <<Does that mean there's actually more drinking there?>> Yes there is. Like I said earlier it's nearly impossible to go anywhere especially in Milwaukee and not run into some sort of bar. Heck we even have run/walk events where the main theme is stopping in a bar. <<Or does it mean that the good, honest people of Wisconsin are more willing to admit to their mistakes?>> I would say yes to that also.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip ^^^ I agree with DAR's comments. Also, most Midwesterners seem to have this inbred belief that if you drink at home by yourself you are an alcoholic, so everyone goes out to drink with others.

Originally Posted By DAR <<I'm sorry, was that a few times a week or a month? I know I couldn't have read year.>> Definitely not year. The summer is sometimes closer to a few times per week. If it's colder maybe a few times a month at home.

None for Jerry though, he's too big. He'll have to get his own.
