Breathalyzer Statistics Show When And Where America Is Getting Drunk (Charts And Maps And Shit)
Americans drink. Americans get drunk. This is common knowledge and certainly not newsworthy. Everyone loves statistics and rankings, though. It’s all about seeing where you stack up against the rest of the country’s drunkards–pride or shame, depending on your stance on drinking.
A San Francisco based company, BACtrack, used their pocket breathalyzers to monitor the drinking habits of 100,000 red-blooded, American drinkers for one year.
From Fast Company:
The data was aggregated from 100,000 unique anonymous users around the globe over a 12-month period, shedding light on how much we drink, when we drink, and which states appear to drink the most.
Average BAC by days of the week:
BAC by holidays:
Drunkest states (by average BAC):
And finally, top 10 drunkest and top (bottom?) 10 soberest cities:

10 years ago at 4:25 pmAll 25 people in South Dakota must know how to fucking PARTY.
10 years ago at 1:48 pmYou’re damn right I do.
10 years ago at 2:12 pmI second this motion.
10 years ago at 3:40 pmStaunchly Republican, topping the charts for both alcohol and adderall consumption, and let’s not forget Mount Rushmore. South Dakota is probably the most frat state per capita.
10 years ago at 3:39 pmYour name and comment just work so well together.
10 years ago at 7:50 pmLooks like there was a nationwide rager on that Saturday between Father’s Day and the Fourth of July
10 years ago at 1:50 pmI don’t feel that this in any way, shape, or form is accurate. 100,000 nationwide isn’t enough people for an accurate figure. That’s 2,000 people per state. This article is horse shit.
10 years ago at 1:51 pmI take it you were too hungover to pass Stats then.
10 years ago at 2:27 pmWow Arkansas, almost on Utah’s level? Embarrassing.
10 years ago at 1:51 pmSo more people drink on Mother’s Day than St. Patrick’s Day? I call bullshit.
10 years ago at 1:56 pmWell St. Paddy’s fell on a Monday this year, and as a result we raged on the 15th. The stats probably reflect the drinking for the actual calender day; so yeah, still bullshit.
10 years ago at 2:32 pmCongratulations South Dakota and Montana for finally being ranked #1 at something!

10 years ago at 2:00 pmWhat is that random day in late June where people apparently get way drunker than usual? It’s from the second chart.
