This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

What's wrong with the deep south? by ShillelaghHugger
AL, MS, LA & Arkansas all rank last in almost every category for breweries per capita, consumption, etc.
I've never spent much time in Mississippi. I realize they're not a wealthy state .
Just 12 craft breweries statewide. Hell Hawaii has 18. Last in beer consumption nationally.
Interestingly Vermont is the highest breweries per capita & they drink the most beer per capita. Delware is 2nd most in beer consumption but far fewer breweries.
