That is not even touching our enormous wines made here in Idaho. According to 27/4 Wall St and a recent listing of Strangest Little Facts About Each State, Idaho drinks more wine per capita than any other state in the country. If that isn't enough, According to idahowines.org We have over 70 wineries in the gem state. In the state of Idaho there are about 160,000 cases of wine produced annually.
We like to drink here in the gem state, and while we apparently drink more wine per capita, we are not the 'drunkest' state according to a new study by BestLife. They analyzed and studied tons of data and came up with a 'drunk scale' for each state. For reference our neighboring state came in 50th. According to this study, Utah is the least drunk state in the United States with a drunk score of 0.08. So where did Idaho fall on the list. Down at number 13 with a drunk score of 48.45. Oregon sits next to Idaho in 12th place. Nevada comes in 8th. Wyoming likes to drink a bit more at #6 and our Montana neighbors almost topped the list in second place only being beat by North Dakota.
