chasfh Posted August 3, 2025 Author Posted August 3, 2025 Here's an even better one: America’s Drunkest & Driest Counties Based On Excessive Drinking. Are buying Wisconsin? The map above shows the drunkest and driest US counties based on the share of excessive drinkers. The drunkest is Gallatin, MT where 26.8% of people are excessive drinkers. And the driest is Utah, UT where only 9.04% of people are excessive drinkers. Quote
CMRivdogs Posted August 3, 2025 Posted August 3, 2025 Gallatin is the northern gateway to Yellowstone Nat Park. Gorgeous country but I can imagine winters can be brutal. I wonder how many of those surveyed are tourists Quote

Wisconsin and some areas of Vermont show the correlation and direct causality between excessive cheese eating and alcoholism. 1 Quote

Edman85 Posted August 8, 2025 Posted August 8, 2025 Your title says median, the graph says average. Which is it? Quote

Some of the differences are policy related between states, but whenever you see such hard cutoffs between states, some of that has to be differences in data collection / lack of normalization. I'm not convinced that Walworth County, Wisconsin is orders of magnitude more drunk than McHenry County, Illinois, despite the two sharing a pretty decent amount of border with one another.

I would guess median also just because the ranges seem too small to be averages for the ritzy parts of London where a few billionaires would tend to skew averages strongly.

oblong Posted August 15, 2025 Posted August 15, 2025 what do the numbers mean for context? Dark blue looks like it's in the middle of the chart of colors so is that "average"? I'm confused by dark blue being in the middle of a chart with lighter blue going on way, followed by dark red, then lighter red. The intensity of the color should match the extreme, no? Quote

chasfh Posted August 16, 2025 Author Posted August 16, 2025 This is not a map, but I do find this to be a fascinating revelation of how the various streamers time the release of their original series. For example, 80%+ of Netflix's series releases are all episodes at once; Prime, Disney, and Peacock are the most likely to follow a multiple episodes per week model; Apple TV+ is big on stacked premieres followed by weekly episodes; and HBO Max is all over the place on theirs.
