The Drunkest State: New Hampshire
New Hampshire is
a drinker’s paradise. It has the
highest per capita sales of beer and
spirits on our list, and it’s
largely because of one reason: The
state does not have a tax on its
alcohol. So people in and out of
state flock to liquor stores for
cheaper booze. Yet, New Hampshire
has managed to turn a vice into a
virtue. According to the Wall Street
Journal, the state “derives more
revenue from wine and liquor sales
than any other non-tax source.”
Congratulations, New Hampshire,
you’re the booziest state in the
nation.
