read this. Your state is falling behind!This explains alot when it comes to Wisconsin! LOL
There’s gotta be a cheese joke in there somewhere...
That's an interesting observation.
A good thing about this state; order a Bloody Mary at any bar and you’ll get a beer wash on the side.
I love it!
West Virginia and Kentucky have low percentages of African Americans: 3.2% and 7.3%, comparable to Wisconsin (5.7%). (In Arkansas and North Carolina, their percentage of the population exceeds the national average.) African American DWI habits are not the principal reason for low DWI rates. The main reason is cultural: evangelical and Mormon social mores frown on alcohol; Catholic and Lutheran social mores do not, at least in moderation.
It would have been helpful had the article’s writer porvided a link or citation to where the federal government report could be viewed or read. I’d like to see where my state ranks.
Everytime they lower the BAC limit, the number of “drunk” drivers skyrockets. Who could have predicted that?
Yankees drink hard licker at rates that most Southerners find shocking.
“Next came West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky and North Carolina”
Folks there are so drunk, they can’t drive.
It is very hard for me to believe that some of the states not in the top ten here would have fewer impaired drivers.
It’s a liberal utopia. They should’ve got a frontal lobotomy instead of...
I’m not buying that WV has the second soberest drivers next to Utah. I just think they don’t catch all the “mountaineers” in all the hills and hollers that rarely see any police presence.
Report can’t be correct. New Mexico is not in the top 5? Bogus.
I got popped a couple of times years ago. Since my last name isn’t ‘Kennedy’ I had to pay the fines. I’m just sick to death of the hypocrisy and double standards.
One of the worst kept secrets on Ft. Campbell was a 2 Star General who had multiple DUIs ON POST.
Oh yeah, and then there’s examples like this:
EAN CITY — Mothers Against Drunk Driving praised the Ocean City Police Depart-ment on Thursday for how officers handled the Oct. 29 traffic stop and non-arrest of Delaware State Rep. John C. Atkins.

The MADD hatters also oppose lowering the drinking age to 18, even though at that age U.S. citizens are considered adults in the eyes of the law, can vote, own property, and fight and die for our country.
MADD is a special interest group which receives millions of dollars every year. Their selective outrage and gradual infrigment on the 4th Amendment should have a lot of people worried.
pong! (hic)
read this. Your state is falling behind!The item on cable news this morning cited the report as saying “25% of all drivers have driven under the influence.” I wouldn’t challenge that number, but I would challenge the methodology of how it was obtained. One can get any result they want depending on the phrasing of the questionnaire.
Also, driving drunk while dangerous as hell, does not correlate with the provable statistics. If Wisconsin is #1 in DWI, they can handle their liquor better than 14 other states. In 2005, Wisconsin ranked 15th in DWI related deaths.

Maybe practice does help. :D
The Vikings just traded their first and two thirds for Jared Allen of the Chiefs. Jared has trouble with the sauce. This may not go well.
