Yall remember when 4LOKO was popular back in FALL2010? Well, whatevs. It was big on campus. 1 of my homies tried 2B a total hardo & drink 5 4LOKOS (a 420) which is obvi totally dangerous 4 ur brain. But he took 4 & a half str8 2 tha dome before throwing up & passing out. He got so sick Coupon had 2 drop him off @ tha ER. They pumped his stomach & gave him a IV. When he came back 2 our frat a few days l8r he was all f'd up. It was like he had a stroke. He was stuttering & his face looked like Jim Ross's. I think he stopped breathing & got damaged brains. So just b careful durin tha superbowl, bros. & also, if u get 2 farked up u won't be able 2 get lil jimmy up so that'll ruin ur parrrrty.

He is always welcome here and I doubt he ever has to pay for a drink again. Which may or may not contribute to his death one day.

"I'm not going to be crying in my beer but I'm so uninterested in the game that I believe there might be a little more drinking going on," said Brad Melichar, a 24-year-old lifelong fan of the green and gold.

I don't get how this makes sense. I'll be drinking way less this year because I'm uninterested in the game. If it was Packers vs. Patriots, man I bet I'd be getting toasted.

I would have felt a little better if the Packers actually showed up and played a decent game. The defense sucked ass but that wasn't anything new, but the offense didn't seem to careless if they won or not...bad passes, dropped balls, no effort...

Packers won that game for the giants.

Did they have nfc championship blues too?

This skit is frighteningly accurate for those of you that have never visited for a few nights. Also, Brandy Old-Fashioned is a good drink.

Yeah, he got the Wisconsin drinking culture right.

The one thing I hate is when people doubt how much we drink. I'm proud of my drinking and wear it like a badge of honor. I hate when I travel out of state and go out for a drink at a bar, and I ask for a Jack & Coke and they come back with a cola & a little jack. Look, I asked for a Jack Daniels AND Coke, not a Coke AND Jack Daniels. Don't pussyfoot around with these wimpy 2 shot cocktails. If you're going to pour a cocktail, at least make it respectable. Glass with plenty of ice, fill it with half liquor, then half mixer. It's not that friggin hard.

Obies, in East Troy, dranking 75cent chicklets before heading to Alpine Valley for a show. It was settled down, simple tanking.

The only time I drink those is when I'm in the Cheese state.

/Hatfield rules!

Yeah, drinking in WI is hardcore. I've partied on Water st, State st. and all over Menomonie and the one thing that astounds me the most is in the dead of winter you'll still see the women wearing next to nothing. Plus, WI chicks are different, they're like corn fed, so they have just the right amount of curves. That and the amount of booze can be trouble.

Christ - a six pack costs more than that where I live.

This is an underrated state- even without the great beer and sports.
there is always something to do

I agree. Last year I was kind of wasted (as I have been told) at my Super Bowl party, I was having so much fun with the Packers in it. This year, I volunteered to work and probably won't even watch it.

This will be my first super bowl in Wisconsin. I only got 3 beers per non-toddler at my party - we're taking it easy.

Wisconsin ranks between 21 and 25 in obesity/overweight percentage for states so not great, but still in the upper half.



/Born and raised in Wisconsin(not far from Door County)
//College in Madison also

Second.

/Lived in Neenah, WI since I was 4 years old, about 30 min. drive southwest of Green Bay
//On/off again college student at Marquette

Good to see my home state in the news again-for drinking.
