I have serious doubts about the accuracy of the poll really. Frankly, the ante drinking crowd has plenty of air time in Nebraska so I would not be surprised to find many Nebraskans just think they drink too much as opposed to really drinking that heavily. I moved to the twin cities from Nebraska and have plenty of Lincoln bar scene experience, etc. The levels of drinking in Nebraska don't even come close to those up here. There are more bars packed and more drinking at home by far than I ever saw there. Not sure how Minnesota came out in the polls but seriously they drink like fish up here compared to there and I thought Nebraskans drink. No comparison in my view.
