Bars In New York State

Most of the watering holes in New York State are located in populated areas. I guess that is not real surprising, as that's where the people is and that's where you would build a business. Some of the rural towns in upstate are dry. This might be a more interesting map if I had done bars per capita -- maybe that's a project for a future date.

Politicians Drinking

With all this talk about politicians drinking beer these days,💭 I have to admit I drink less and less of it. 🍺As I’ve gotten older, I really don’t enjoy getting drunk, I don’t like the hang overs😵 or the even just the cost of alcohol.💰

Sure, I’ll occasionally have a beer or two when camping⛺ but I have all but given up on drinking at home or even when I’m on the road for work.🍻 I guess when I was younger, alcohol made me more relaxed but now it’s really kind of not that great, a lot of empty calories and honestly hang overs are really bad. 💩
