Where We Like to Drink
Where’s your favorite place to drink? I like drinking at home either with a meal or in front of the TV well enough. But it’s definitely more fun to head out to the bars with friends. And it turns out that I live in the right part of the US for that preference, statistically speaking that is.
The good folks over at Floating Sheep decided to crunch some numbers and came up with some interesting facts. They simply compared the number of grocery stores to bars then overlaid their data on a map of the US. What they found was a significant number of bars per capita in a region that roughly stretches from the upper Midwest and into the Northern Plains states. Check out the map for yourself to see what I mean.
Like to go out for a drink? Then these are the states for you. The national average for bars per 10,000 people is about 1.52, according to Floating Sheep. But some of these states tip the scales with 5 and 6 bars per 10,000 in some cases. Nice!
