For GF. Well and everyone else.

The top five states for beer consumption per capita are North Dakota, New Hampshire, Montana, South Dakota and Wisconsin, according to the Beer Institute, a trade organization. North Dakota drank about 45.8 gallons of beer per resident 21 and older last year, the institute said. Per capita figures do not include residents under 21 years old.
Meanwhile the states that consume the least beer per capita are Utah, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Kentucky, according to the institute. Utah residents drank about 20.2 gallons of beer on average last year, according to industry data.

So Utah drank 20.2 gallons per capita last year, but New York was 22, not far off that. If we can assume that the majority of mormons don't drink beer in any real volume, then does that mean that outside the religious group Utahns actually drink more beer? Would be interesting to see. Or are there more closet mormon beer drinkers than anyone thinks? I can say that I don't drink beer, originally due to religion, but more now probably due to the fact that it tastes like literal ****. Right up there as one of the worst things I have ever tasted, outside of a bizarre korean "candy" that was like 10,000x concentrated black licorice.

I'm doing my part Utah!
 
I wonder what the numbers are for liquor. Utah's weak beer may turn many to liqour when they might otherwise stick with beer.
 
I'll give you mine.. lemme do some quick math.

I am serious when I say I am at about 235 gallons.. but am about to cut WAAAAAAY back.
 
Expect this number to be waaaaaaay down this year. UGLI has stopped drinking teh beer.

Dude, beer was being made before agriculture. Your paleolithic friends invented beer. It has been suggested that the development of agriculture was directly related to man's desire to have a constant supply of beer. I mean, they weren't starving. There was plenty of food to be hunted and gathered. What could the motivation have been to settle down, build a town and grow barley (confirmed first crop)? What was barley primarily used for at the time? The original assumption was for bread, but it has since been discovered that bread wasn't made for another few thousand years. It has also been confirmed that they were making beer in the very first cities. You cannot have a constant supply of beer and be nomadic hunter gatherers.

I think I just confirmed why the paleolithic diet doesn't include beer. Damnit.
