研究美国各州的酒精消费模式和趋势，以确定具有相似饮酒习惯或文化的州群。酗酒率和目前戒酒率以及人均表观消费量被用来对各州进行分类。确定了六个州组：中北部和新英格兰的消费和重度饮酒水平最高；大西洋中部、太平洋和南海岸为中等饮酒量；以及饮酒量最低的干旱南部地区。对啤酒和烈酒系列之间的关系进行分析，与不同群体的啤酒和烈酒系列之间的关系进行比较，未能清楚地表明群体的凝聚力。
US state alcohol consumption patterns and trends are examined in order to identify groups of states with similar drinking habits or cultures. Rates of heavy drinking and current abstention and per capita apparent consumption levels are used to categorize states. Six state groupings were identified: North Central and New England with the highest consumption and heavy drinking levels; Middle Atlantic, Pacific and South Coast with moderate drinking levels; and Dry South with the lowest drinking levels. Analyses of relationships between beer and spirits series for states within groups as compared to those in different groups failed to clearly indicate group cohesiveness.
