Drunkest States- Wisconsin Only #6 - But Look at the Picture

Donate To GopherHole

I was a little surprised Iowa didn't make the list but then thought there are a lot of clean living people in the farming communities there and I also recall when I was in Davenport earlier this year that it was a struggle to find a bar open past 9pm. I think we crossed town 3 times before we found one.

10 drunkest states in the nation. Three of out bordering states make the list. Why is this posted on the Football Board? Take a look at the accompanying picture. Then wait for the Badger Trolls to tell us how it's all an invention of Gopherhole. :drink:

Yeah, but #1 in binge drinking. When you're at the game tomorrow, try and find a skunk that isn't drunk. It'll be harder than finding Waldo.

Go a Gophers!

What reaction are you trying to incite? Because it isn't shocking and not particularly embarrassing. Should the binge drinking rate go down, sure, and I'd love tougher drunk driving laws, but my reaction is yawn.
 

Since when is D.C is state. Coming in at two. To be fair I would rank North Dakota ahead of the skunk state

Binge drinking and alcohol abuse is embarrassing. Becky fans walking around smashed out of their ass is a joke. Becky fans are proud of this and that is disgusting. That being said I can't make fun of them because I will be called out for not being sensitive to their problems. Watch out going home from the game. Some of these people will be driving.

I was actually trying to lob that sense of humor back at you and it fell flat.

Sorry, didn't catch that, ah the vagaries of the internet. You know there IS a Smiley/Similes List for that stuff don't you? :cool:
 



Does it surprise anyone that the two most obnoxious fan bases amongst our rivals Wisconsin and North Dakota (for hockey) are number one and two for binge drinking.

Isn't Bucky A skunk version of Waldo with vertical stripes?

Between you and Dr. Don, I don't know who has more inane posts. So silly.

Here we go AGAIN! Boy, you just don't get it, do you? As an openly gay man, how in hell do you have the audacity to blindly stereotype an entire group of people??? I do not drink, haven't for many years. None of the Wisconsin fans that I know "walk around smashed out of their ass" on game days. You're clearly jaded when it comes to this rivalry. Please give up the self-righteous typecasting!

Hit a nerve?
 

1. Have you ever lived in North Dakota? It's brutally cold and windy, with no winter recreation to speak of. No surprise that people there binge drink - there's little else to do. I know - I lived there.

2. Sconie is a different deal. There's a reason that it's the only state where first offense DUI is not a criminal offense - it's just a traffic violation.

Let's just say that your experience is quite the opposite of mine. Now I've never been to Camp Randall on a gameday, but the experience for the axe game in Minneapolis can be atrocious when it comes to your traveling skunk-brothers. Don't worry, you're not alone though, Iowa fans do the same thing when they come to Minneapolis.

In my opinion, it contributes greatly toward Gopher fans selling their tickets to Hawkeye and badger fans - which only encourages you guys and makes the problem worse. I don't feel this way about Nebraska fans - 99% pleasant folks. OSU and Mich fans are snobbish, arrogant - but not the drunks you guys bring to The Cities every other year. We can tell the difference.

I have two comments.

1. I now know where the phrase "Drunk as a skunk" comes from.

2. Apparently, Iowa's drinking problems are centralized to the Iowa City metro area.
 

Tornadoes for Minnesota? I have a hard time believing we beat out Oklahoma for that one. Also love that Utah, home of the moral high ground, is tops in porn usage.

This might be a bit of an over-generalization, but I've always felt that fans on the road are more boisterous...especially within rivalries. Wisconsinites hate people from Illinois (FIBS, if you will), and a good chunk of that comes from the behavior of Bears and Cubs fans at Lambeau and Miller Park. Not necessarily trying to defend Badger fans, just saying it's a two-way street. If the Gophers string together 10 years of success, we'll have cocky drunk fans at road games too.
