Alcohol Consumption and Political Ideology: What’s Party Got to Do with It?
Pavel A. Yakovlev and Walter P. Guessford

Recent research in psychology and sociology has established a connection between political beliefs and unhealthy behaviors such as excessive alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drug consumption. ... we find that when a state becomes more liberal politically, its consumption of beer and spirits rises, while its consumption of wine may fall. Our findings suggest that political beliefs are correlated with the demand for alcohol.

It might be because wine is expensive, so only the 1%ers can afford it. However, there may be more liberals here because it is how the 99%ers have figured out how to become a wino on a budget.

Borderline political post. Everybody knows conservatives are the main consumers of Mogan David 20/20 and Thunderbird. I also like the backdoor implication in the post that the rich are all conservative politically, while the poorer one gets the more liberal he or she is. That's not proven out in economic research data. And so on…

Well if true Connecticut is an anomaly... Arguably a politically very liberal state yet there is the Connecticut Wine Trail.
