USA Today ranked the states in terms of um, drunkedness. Fortunately or unfortunately, Mississippi ranked 46, just behind Utah, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Alabama.
However, one must question the survey as Louisiana ranked only 17. Read the survey results.

It's USA Today. 'nuf said.
People are so full of themselves
I'll drink to that!
Hmmm - they must’ve missed by ex-wife and her family...
so how much booze is actually drunk in the higher ranked states considering how much is consumed here?
Only possible if they mistook Oxford as being in Tennessee.
Well, we live under Talibaptist sharia, so it's not all that surprising that a lot of people don't drink or at least won't admit to doing so. But we certainly have some really cool piss-stained car tags that have "In God We Trust" on them!!!
Love the link between lower drinking and worse health outcomes....fried catfish and sweet tea is worse than wine!
Louisiana is 17 only because they are burdened with the Baptists in North Louisiana!
Is there a relationship between cold weather and alcohol consumption? Looks like the residents in the drunkest states have the harshest winters and all they can do is drink.
Yet all these Cowboy-Deputies claim they need radar to catch drunk speeders?
I dont drink anything stronger than pop, and Pop will drink anything.
How do you keep a Baptist from drinking at your party?
Invite two of them.
I wonder how many states have dry and part-dry counties? Are we an anomaly in yet another way? And how many folks from Hatley and Amory have been killed driving across the Monroe County line for whiskey and beer?
Who gets to determine what is excessive drinking. How does Ridgeland have more DUIs than Detriot? Had to ask?
Rankin...you can sit down at a restaurant, order food and drinks but you can’t find a liquor store. When you get finished eating your meal in Rankin you have to see if the law is going to catch you for driving under the influence. What a backaward ass place. Scrubby looking pine trees and no liquor stores! The debul gone git you if you drink that stuff! If they can only find one of the old stills that Torrence had hid out in the woods. See ya at church!! Buuuuurrrrrpp
11:02 - That's the same way you keep a Baptist fishing buddy from drinking all the beer in the boat.
Local option laws for alcohol are dumb and should be abolished.
Can the Legislature do that?
Some of the wettest places in Mississippi are “dry” legally.
Look at Walthall County as an example. Surrounded by counties and a Louisiana parish where alcohol sales and consumption are legal. Tylertown has small-town charm but very little to offer from an economic standpoint. Its school system has poor ratings on the MDE accountability measures. The families that can afford it send their children to private schools in neighboring counties or Washington Parish.
I understand there are residents there who would love to see alcohol legal, but as I was told by one proponent, the town is too small population-wise to have just a municipal vote; it would have to be a county-wide referendum.
fat and sober
As a Catholic the best way to keep a Baptist from drinking your beer on a fishing trip is to invite another Baptist!
If Trump told them to drink,they would all be drunk.
Not to mention Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, et al, @9:00PM
