Also the "Drunk in public" crimes rose.

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...

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.
