JS Online: Wisconsin's love affair with brandy cools a bit, but some fans still hot for it
Today, Badger tipplers drink just three times more brandy than average Americans, a margin that would shame our ancestors. Worse, after decades of ranking first in brandy consumption per capita, Wisconsin has been surpassed by the District of Columbia, which isn't even a state.

In studying the internals of these given statistics, I have found three things that challenge the interpretations of this study. First, much of the brandy that is purchased in D.C. is sent to Wisconsin as presents, pay-offs, and kickbacks. Second, a great measure of the brandy drunk in D.C. is by those Badgers that are staying there temporarily such as Senators, Representatives, and their families and assistants. And, third, in D.C., a far greater percentage of brandy is puked back out within a thirty minute period after consuming than it is in Wisconsin. To most experts in the field, this is illegitimate consumption finality (ICF), negating the veracity of their claims. Wisconsin still rules.
I think the main problem with dwindling brandy consumption is the confusion among consumer by attaching the term "brandy" to all those fairy flavors. The average Joe buys less of the stuff because he doesn't want to be accused of being "light in the loafers". And the gay population isn't large enough to sustain your level of consumption.
(I'm discussing attitudes and demographics, not making value judgments either way.)
Anonymous Al, that is.
