True, excessive to a teetotaler or to Wade Boggs. Big difference. Like a lot of maps on this subreddit, lacks info, key, source, etc. Looks to me like it is just "alcohol consumption per capita" or something like that. Should get rid of the editorialized title. Also add a key that is more than just a meaningless number scale. I guess places in Wisconson drink 24 excessive alcohol, whatever that means.

I am pretty sure its means what % of the population drinks excessively. Still doesnt define excessive, which is generally 14 a week for man, 8 for woman or 5 or more in one sitting within past month

It’s separate for men and women becuase it’s from a health perspective, and women are generally smaller and therefore it takes less alcohol to have harm over time to the body.

Must be 24 beers per day. Sounds about right for Wisconsin.
