National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has completed a study outlining the consumption of alcohol per person for every state in the US as of 2007. The numbers were figured by taking the total volume of alcohol sales and dividing it by the census population in that state including everyone 14 and older. I guess they count on the teens to start young? Thank you big beer commercials can I have another?
