This might be our favorite research study yet, because new research shows that Americans have been drunk for approximately 172 HOURS during 11 weeks of lockdown.
American Addiction Centers, a provider of rehabilitation resources and programs, conducted a survey of 3,200 adults (aged 21+) to find out how much time they have actually spent drunk during lockdown and overall the average adult in the USA was drunk for almost 172 hours during lockdown.
South Dakota can now be considered the "drunkest state" as participants said they average almost 468 hours drunks throughout lockdown.
The AAC report also found that 14 percent of Americans said they’ve been drunk more during lockdown than before it, and nearly 20 percent hide their drinking from their partners. Here is the average amount of drunk hours in the DMV:
- Virginia: 180 hours
- Maryland: 178 hours
- West Virginia: 158 hours
- Pennsylvania: 74 hours
Now we know to go to Virginia if we want to have a good time!
