Having graduated from high school in Wisconsin, I cringed when I heard that a study found that the badger state ranks at the top of the drunk driving states list.

Wisconsin, with its prevalent drinking culture, was rated the state with the most drunk drivers in the country Wednesday. Over one-fourth of drivers said they drove under the influence at least once in the past year.

It’s not that surprising that a lot of Wisconsinites like to drink. It gets fricking COLD back there and it seems like every town has at least one bar. At the same time, note to my friends in Wisconsin: start using more designated drivers, please. If 25% of the people on the road are drunk that means 75% are not drunk and likely don’t want to die tonight.

Our 20 year reunion was last year and though I didn’t go, I’d like to think there will be enough people alive to attend the 30 year one. One of my classmates that I came back into contact with recently indicated she had gone through a divorce recently. Why? The guy drank too much.

This sucks. Switch to water, green tea or something else that’s better for you. Doing anything to excess is bound to shorten one’s life: stress, drinking, working too much, too much sex. Ok, maybe not the last one
