I used to have to cross through south Wisconsin on occasion and multiple times I noted the massive amount of taverns and even suspected drunk drivers.Korkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10675331972011003528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-18996413366151371092019-12-13T00:09:42.335-06:002019-12-13T00:09:42.335-06:00Well the large german population that settled here...Well the large german population that settled here had roots going back to the old country in beer manufacturing.

Also worth noting that several of the cities named have a collage of there own or affiliated branch of a major university.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-64913954848009318932019-12-12T10:11:08.110-06:002019-12-12T10:11:08.110-06:00Thanks for the insights!Thanks for the insights!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-80403575759424032302019-12-12T07:10:28.106-06:002019-12-12T07:10:28.106-06:00Cultural factors of a sort, perhaps.
