I was taken back when I read the statistics. According to floatingsheep.com, when they did a comparison between grocery stores and watering holes, look at what they discovered. A geographical difference, starting with Illinois to Wisconsin and Iowa, The Dakota's and Minnesota spreading to Montana, the number of bars out number the number of grocery stores. In comparison, the rest of the country has 1.52 bars for every 10,000 people in the U.S., but here in the Midwest, grab your glass and look at these numbers;
