COLUMBUS -- The state Department of Commerce said that state liquor sales hit $734.8 million in 2009, exceeding last year's total by $15.7 million or 2.18 percent.
The top 10 selling brands in Ohio for 2009 were:
* Kamchatka Vodka * Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey * Bacardi Superior Light Rum * Captain Morgan Spiced Rum * Smirnoff Vodka * Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey * Jagermeister * Absolut Vodka * Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey * Korski VodkaWhat, no Wild Turkey or Southern Comfort? MD 20/20 anyone?

Is this only a hard liquor list? I thought the beers ould have made a stronger showing. Looks like Ohio likes their Vodka, Whiskey and Rum....

Isn't Ohio kind of in the "Corn Belt"?
-
Also the "Drunk in public" crimes rose.

More evidence. But I think the UK consumption actually went down after Keith Richard s quit drinking a while back.

The sad truth is that a lot of people hit by the bad economy are drowning their sorrows in alcohol.

Your graph may be true, but it is a superior example of the "how to lie with statistics" genre. It is cut at 175 so it looks like the growth is very dramatic - it is, but not that dramatic. They make a 30% increase look like a 1000% increase...

Yes it was taken from a wine industry site. They were patting themselves on the back.
I remember my Statistics course from University, I was always impressed about how a little manipulation of facts could garner results for the spin doctors. (perhaps we do the same thing in the visualization world) -

It's a 10-year record-breaking trend: Liquor sales in Ohio reach all-time high for 10th year in a row. But I'm sure there is some truth in in the thought.
Personally, I only drink when I'm at home and not asleep.
