And sorry I don’t mean drug culture. Weed culture.
Wisconsin (the state) is in the second decile of apparent alcohol consumption, according to https://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/surveillance110/CONS16.pdf (table 2). It also has Milwaukee, which is well known for its beer brewing history.
Syracuse is in the top 10 for both hard liquor AND beer. Maybe they are into George Thorogood?
It seems that students of age at Delaware, Tulane, Colgate, Bucknell, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Providence might also enjoy one bourbon, one scotch, one beer.
There is no “methodology” for Princeton Review; the student surveys don’t purport to be scientific or representative. That being said, if a school appears on a cultural list like these alcohol/drug questions more than once, it’s a safe bet that there’s truth to that attribute. The “Clove-smoking Birkenstock-wearing tree-huggers” scale is another type of cultural question where I take consistent appearance on the list seriously.
For Women’s Colleges to make the top 10, you’d need a category titled “Boxed Wine, Consumed From a Refillable Bottle, While Playing the Ukulele”
