Crunching the Mardi Gras booze data for @BW to measure alcoholic polarization: Dems drink cognac + brandy, GOPers bourbon + shitty light beer: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Here's a chart showing the partisan breakdown of alcohol consumption, via @WillFeltus of National Media Inc. (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…):
My massive and regretful college consumption of Keystone Light apparently marked me as a hardcore Republican, and I didn't even know it
Digging deeper in the data, Mexican-beer drinkers (Corona, Tecate, Modelo) skew heavily Dem because they're young hipsters; GOP voters are olds w/ expanding waistlines + thus gravitate to watery light beers (Coors, Bud, Miller and-gag-Busch): bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #MardiGras
Merlot is the only truly nonpartisan drink (@HowardSchultz)
setting up a Kickstarter to fund my further research on this topic, stay tuned
