Not much difference, though.

Could be regional. Not many liberals live in dry counties.

I’d drink too if I was a liberal.

(Smoking is also correlated with liberals and homosexuals)

The rise in unrestrained liberalism/leftism coincided with the rise in "recreational" drug us. They say correlation is not causation, but my two most liberal siblings were also the two biggest pot users.

Still proves nothing you say? You might be right. But nevertheless, I'll wager far more libs are heavy rec drug users than conservatives.

My advice to them is to start drinking heavily.
