The Beer Institute (are there any research positions available?) has released a map charting each U.S. state’s annual beer consumption, and, naturally, it’s become a viral Internet hit. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise, since this is the kind of map everyone wishes they could’ve studied in high school history classes. But what is surprising is the state whose 21+ population consumed the most alcohol in 2008: Montana. What’s going on out there, and why am I not going to school there?

Where does your state fall?

Uhmm nothing else to do in montana? I go to school at MSU and it’s huge for snowboarding, skiing, River Rafting etc. There’s tons of mtns. and MT is known widely for it’s outdoor sports. So get out more Eliz.
But yesss along with great scenery there are some monster parties that go down here and I’ve never had a better drinking time anywhere (except at some great parties in Florida)!

Boston alone has greater beer consumption per capita than Montana. This map is inaccurate.

yeah MSU! Pretty much all we do here is ski and hike and raft…we just do it all with a beer in one hand, that’s all!

Dear Tuffy Luv, I have been seeing this guy at school on-and-off since the beginning of the school year. He’s a freshman, I’m a sophomore. At the beginning, we hit it off great for about three weeks, and then he felt that he needed to keep his options open as a freshman–which I understood and let it go. He came back around Thanksgiving time and told me he wanted to start seeing me again, and I agreed.
