SAN ANGELO, TX – A study conducted recently by National Today shows that Texans love rum.
It's no secret that Texans love their booze. In 2018 alone Texas was ranked the number two state in total alcohol consumption by drinking 51.8 million gallons of alcohol.
This Sunday, Texas will add to that number because it will be National Rum Day. To figure out how much ammunition to send to liquor stores, National Today partnered with Goslings Rum to see which state drank more rum than others. The results spoke numbers for Texas livers.
When it comes to the most rum-loving states, New York takes the top spot with Florida, Texas, New Jersey, and California rounding out the top five.
The survey revealed that rum is popular across the age spectrum, but millennials are the clear connoisseurs of the spirit with nearly half of rum lovers (47%) falling into that age range.
According to the survey, 37% of Americans over the age of 21 said that rum drinks were their favorite liquor to drink on the beach and 26% said it was their favorite to drink in any hot weather.
So on August 16 remember to grab some rum and celebrate National Rum Day. Always remember don't drink and drive.

Not something to be proud of. Its no wonder texas leads most states in crime.
It used to be that people shunned alcohol unless they were outlaws. It used to be that Christians shunned alcohol. Seems to be modern society and loose morals.

Permalink... I mean I don't think that taking a drink of Rum or any type of liquor is the root of the problem with crimes in Texas. Drugs like Methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin are much more the root of crimes in Texas. Taking a drink of rum,bourbon or other liquor from time to time ... never gave me the thoughts or feeling that I should go out and commit a crime, ever! As for having loose Christian morals, I consider myself a Christian and I do partake in taking a drink of rum, beer, wine or bourbon from time to time but that doesn't mean I am not a Christian person.

Me thinks ... if they don't like living here in The Great State of Texas... then ... why in the hell are they here?? Me also thinks someone needs to move on to ... the state of their choice and stay out the the Great State of Texas if they do not like living here!
