I've never felt more free than when I was living in Texas. No state income tax, speed limits were the highest out of any place I've ever lived, and I could tint my car windows basically as dark as I wanted!
Not true. When i moved to TX they made me remove my tint cause it was too dark when I got my state inspection. I was more free in New Mexico. Everything is more lax and people dont care about much. I could go into the country and shoot guns without no worries, the justice system is more lax, state regulations is more lax, pretty much everything.....but TX offers a better quality of life.
Free meaning little government restriction: speed limit, building limit, taxes, etc.
I'm not saying you're one of these, but Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming tend to attract a lot of anti government nut cases who seem to say those states are free.

Those states, to my knowledge, don't have loose alcohol laws so l don't think they're that free

mmm, I think most of the anti government "nut cases" live in places like Portland and Seattle where there are actual riots against the government that turn violent. You don't see that kind of stuff happening in the three states you mentioned, and I've never met anyone in Idaho who moved to the state because they are anti government lol.
Of interest, is North Dakota has its fair share of militias.
Louisiana and Navada are both 24/7 drinking states. In Missouri you can drink in the car as long as the driver isn't.
Personally I think being able to buy a fith of bourbon at a gas station in Wisconsin/ Illinois/ upper midwest in general at 2am is more awesome/ freer than a 4 am closing time in Chicago.
The issues in Idaho/Montana isn't the closing time of 2am, that's later than New England and much of the south. The issue is you can't buy liquor at the grocery store and in Idaho at least the state has a monopoly on liquor.
I think there is more to being a "Free" state than liquor laws. In Idaho for example you don't need a CCL to pack heat, provided that it is legal for you to posses the firearm you can conceal carry it. The majority of the state is public land, so you are free to use it which is great.
Still, Nevada and Alaska have to be the freest states. Loose laws, and lots of public land.
