“I must be an outlier.”

Don’t worry, until you find yourself out lying in the gutter.

Study: Liberals drink more alcohol than conservatives

Does not match this:

A sobering new study published by the Journal of Wine Economics — yes, there is a Journal of Wine Economics — finds that alcohol consumption in American states rises as the population’s politics becomes more liberal.

Low-Information Voters are driving everybody to drink.

Conservatives prefer quality over quantity.

No reason you can't have both. Old ruler of North Korea felt that way about Cognac.

Are they sure this isn't just conservative in those states drinking more for this reason?

Ab-so-FREAKIN-lutely. Thank you. My weekly walk down to my cousin's house for a "few" beers started about the time Ohio went for Obama in 2008.

Schultz I’d agree with, nut I think Beckel is sincere in his claims of being a recovering alcoholic.

I do not think Bob Beckel is drunk when he appears on tv. I think it is more likely his years of alcohol abuse have caused permanent brain damage...

...that, and he’s a liberal.

Sounds logical. Liberals do wine a lot.

Need some way to be able to look at themselves in the mirror, I guess.

Liberals have to be drunk to have a coherent thought.

Here at FR people believe that alcohol consumption rises in proportion to the number of football games per capita. But actually, as this survey proves, it correlates perfectly with the level of despair that is observed in any given society. And, as is well known, this level increases linearly with the number of liberals, liberal ideas and liberal passed laws found in that society.

You read it here first..

Yah right. Every time I read a SCOTUS decision, every time I read news about what’s going on and not going in in Congress, every damn word out of Obama’s mouth, I’m lunging for the bottle.

Well, there are some totally non-drinking conservatives out there, but most of the fun conservatives I know drink enough to make up for them.

Actually, I’d say that alcohol consumption being all the same (based on alcohol, not on the particular drink), the leftist areas probably drink more because union members are big beer drinkers. Most of my leftist friends and family members are “working class” union member beer drinkers or well-off intellectuals who want to feign being “working class.” So it’s not the white wine but the beer that is cranking it up.

In any case, I’m not doing Thanksgiving at my house anymore or even inviting them because it’s too ugly. They may drink because they think they want to relax, but they don’t know when to just hang back and have a good time. With leftists, it’s all politics all the time.
