I found an article that caught my eye on the website onlyinyourstate.com. It ranked the top ten drunkest counties in Maine. In recent data, Maine sits near the top in alcohol consumption nationwide. These rankings are based from data from County Health Rankings and Roadmaps and their look at those saying they engage in excessive drinking. They also used data of the highest number of bars per capita. 1. Cumberland County 2. Sagadohoc County 3. Knox County 4. York County 5. Androscoggin County 6. Franklin County 7. Penobscot County 8. Hancock County 9. Lincoln County 10. Waldo County 11. Kennebec County 12. Somerset County 13. Aroostook County 14. Oxford County 15. Washington County 16. Piscataquis County The range from the top to bottom isn't very much. Cumberland County had 21 percent surveyed saying that they engage in excessive drinking, while Piscataquis Country had 16 percent saying that they engage in excessive drinking.
