That list does not surprise me. Places like Key West and Nashville have plenty of bars, but a lot of it is tourists doing their annual bar hopping week. Daytona Beach is one big bar for Bike week, then it reverts back to being a regular town. Some places in Wisconsin, it seems everybody in town goes to a bar every night of the week, all year round. Some towns around Pittsburgh are similar. Every day, after work, same crowd at the same bar.
a TON of places (small towns) locally in WI near me the locals go to bars nearly EVERY night and stagger home drunk while driving still, but that older generation being my dad's age when in his 50s and 60s some 20 years or so ago are dwindling with most now over age 55 or so still going to bars. My dad and his buddies driving to work together back in the 70s and 80s use to get drunker than a skunk after working in the GM plant at the local bars all over the place coming into the door at home nearly every single week staggering even falling down often from drunkenness. Get back up at 5 a.m. to do it all over again day after day for 33+ years. He had one fellow Jerome whom I shared a birthday with who he use to hang around with who died before my dad did was full fledged daily alcoholic he even drove over to our house totally plastered some 15 rural country miles on a 50cc small honda scooter and drank NO JOKE while at our house a full small bottle of brandy then drive back home on his scooter doing 30 mph no helmet plastered in a 55 mph speed zone which right there alone was illegal even way back in the 1980s.
Even my one main drag 100 yard long downtown of total population of 1200 has 5 hicktown strictly bars and a restaurant that serves alcohol (make that 6) plus a fancy diner (make that 7) and although not full like they once were, are still around to this day. I have only stepped into ever 3 of the 7 though in over 25 years living here. I prefer to drink at home is cheaper and can drink more...
They do drink a lot in WI though or so it surely seems like it probably more so than any other state on a day to day basis. Tougher driving laws are needed though that is 100% a fact.
