Drinkers of legal age in North Dakota drank an average of 45.8 gallons per person. The overall US average is 28.2 gallons per drinker of legal age.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the Top Five after North Dakota are, in order, New Hampshire, Montana, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. I would have expected the drinkers in Wisconsin, the home of beer and brats, to have come in higher. I also thought Texas would have made the list.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I notice about this list is that all are Northern states with long and dark winters. I guess beer helps the residents get through them.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"288\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/live.wsj.com\/public\/page\/embed-DB5629A7_72C7_4F2D_A936_9406C933E78D.html\" width=\"512\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the list of states with the highest consumption of beer, North Dakota is number one.
