Alcohol Addiction

Guess Which Small State Drinks the MOST?

FROM BOREDOM? –

Nov. 7, 2024 – No one tends to associate this tiny state with heavy drinking. However, despite being the 5th smallest state by area and 10th smallest by population, New Hampshire takes first place for consuming the most alcohol per capita in the nation.

This statistic refers to the alcohol category overall, including beer, wine, and spirits. There are more details behind the data reported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), though: Not all of this alcohol may necessarily be consumed in the state. New Hampshire does not have a sales tax and charges a small flat fee on alcohol purchases, so some of these purchases may be from consumers driving over the border from neighboring states to stock up on better deals.
