What's a Bay Stater's Favorite Beer? Shot?

See the results from a national survey.

By Roberto Scalese

If you live in Massachusetts, chances are you unwind with a cold Sam Adams. So says Blowfish for Hangovers, which produces caffeine and aspirin-based hangover tablets. Whether the product works or not, their survey has some amusing results. 

According to the company, they surveyed the US, asking residents to pick from a menu of 18 beers (write-ins were allowed). They then mapped the results for the nation. 

Sam Adams swept New England, and, interestingly, New Jersey and Illinois. Blue Moon carried the most states, though Bud Light also made a strong showing. 

If you're not a beer drinker, chances are your favorite mixed drink is a Margarita. Most states went with either a Margarita or Rum and Coke, according to the map.
 
What about shots? Massachusetts prefers Lemon Drops, according to Blowfish. Lemon Drops. Somewhere in your favorite bar, a grizzled old whiskey drinker just rolled his eyes.
