A few years ago I drove to Chicago for a few days. Then continued on to Osh Kosh then on the Macinaw Island.
While in Osh Kosh I was amazed to see at least two and sometimes as many as three small taverns on nearly everry street corner.
Drinking is not just a past time there.

When I first moved from Wisconsin to Colorado Springs I was shocked that I didn't see a tavern on every street! In my town of 5,000 people we have about 20 bars that I can think of off the top of my head. We only have 7 churches, but 20 bars.

That is just life in small town Wisconsin.

And although I do know many "binge" drinkers, and a few alcoholics, the vast majority of people I know are social drinkers only. Myself, I limit myself to 2 - 3 (depending on how long I am out) because I am afflicted with "spinning bed syndrome" if I have more than that. And that my friend is no fun at all! My husband rarely has more than one beer, if he drinks at all so I always have a driver even though I don't drink that much.
