Is There A Better Place To Be For St. Patrick's Day Than New Jersey

We have some of the best Irish pubs in the nation here in the Garden State, and we love the holiday, but if you base our level of celebration on how much we drink, New Jersey is far from the place to be on St. Patrick's Day.

So, what are these rankings based on? It's pretty simple. It's how many adult beverages we consume on St. Patrick's Day.

New Jersey Is Not The Biggest St. Patrick's Day Party State

And it turns out, Despite the alcohol flowing at the pubs here in the Garden State on the big day, New Jersey consumes the national average, or even below it on St. Patrick's Day.

By the way, the national average sits at 3, and thirteen states drink more than that, but New Jersey isn't on that list.
