“That’s an interesting observation.”

Yep. I call BS. I’d love to see supporting documentation.

My first thought is, Minnesota and Wisconsin are liberal strongholds. Liberals are short on personal accountability, and self control. That’s one reason liberals are so quick to embrace laws that restrict personal freedom. They need government to control their behavior.

That is not to say conservatives don’t make mistakes. But conservatives tend to realize that they are on their own if they make a mistake, and they will have to pay the price.

Yep....this isn’t so much a measure of which states have the most drunk drivers as much as it is which states have the strictest enforcement.

That explains why I don’t like this state or it’s people.....most are redneck barbarians! (I’m sure there are nice ones....but I haven’t met any yet)

Me too. I think the professor pulled that conclusion out of his exhaust pipe. My first thought was perhaps it's the long cold snowy winters in these states that might cause a tendency towards increased depression that might tend to manifest itself in increased tendencies to drink, but that's just my hypothesis.

I don’t know about that. Drinking and driving are part of the culture in smaller towns and rural areas, which tend to be pretty red even in MN and WI. And how do you explain the Dakotas, which are the reddest of red states?

I'm with you, pal

West Virginia? Are you kidding me? All this poll shows is that heavy drinkers tend to lie better than those tortured Swedenborgian souls who inhabit snowy Minnesota and Wisconsin.

You want to see drunk drivers? Check out Massachusetts. Your typical MAsshole visiting our state normally has a BAL that would kill a Republican.
