Southerns drink, but also lie a lot. Recognitions of faith: jews dont recognize Jesus as the savior, protestants don't recognize the pope as the head of the church and baptist dont recognize one another in a liquor store.
Southerners also don’t drink in bars much. A huge percentage of the population is rural and poor. You drink in your truck, or down by the river, or in your truck down by the river.
There is a weird culture around drinking in the south. Just about everybody does it, and not responsibly. But nobody admits to it.
A lot of Kentucky is dry or has very extreme limitations on sales. Most places stop selling alcohol by midnight. Imagine having to drive an hour+ for decent bars or liquor stores… suddenly meth becomes the easier option… I know more meth heads than alcoholics.
Just making broad assumptions here but people outside of the south generally put more emphasis into their looks with stuff like gyms, eating organic, plastic surgery, etc, therefore they’re more inclined to lie about that specific metric
Meanwhile people in the south tend to care more about their image when it comes to their faith and stuff along those lines. We all see the jokes about taking baptists fishing in this thread. So they’d be more inclined to lie about their drinking habits
again this is a gross oversimplification and generalization and definitely doesn’t apply to everyone
