Having been employed in an alcohol recovery center I viewed some very sad cases.
Not the "drunk" most folks seem to think.
Almost all were or had been good working folks.
And their lives and family connections destroyed.
On the surface it would seem NH makes a nice profit upfront off booze, but the real money is in dealing with the problems caused by it's abuse. Ask yourselves why no state including NH is really serious about DUI laws.. because repeat offenders are cash in the bank.. social services.. police..classes, lawyers, yep..big money

There's the thousands of people who drink responsibly in NH.
That lead perfectly normal, successful lives using alcohol responsibly.
Who like to drink good beer and enjoy the company of family and friends.
With no negative consequences at all. It happens.
All the bad press focuses on the negative, as it usually does.
Just thinking "glass half full" rather than "glass half empty".
Yes, people in NH drink a lot of beer, would you be happier if pot were popular instead?
Having lived in both Wisconsin and New Hampshire, my observation is that Wisconsin residents had a MUCH less responsible attitude about drinking and drunk-driving (in 2009) than what I see in New Hampshire now. While NH is often proud of our crazy politicians and strange customs, many Wisconsinites I met were proud of their elected officials records of multiple DUI arrests.
There's a suggestion that NH's high ranking for sales volume is partly sales to residents of Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine, driving down the rankings for Massachusetts sales even though a portion of beer sold in New Hampshire is consumed in MA/VT/ME by tax evaders.
