Introduction
The United States is full of vibrant and exciting states that are known for their great nightlife, delicious food, amazing music, and of course, partying. With all the options available, it can be hard to narrow down just which states are considered the “most party” ones in 2022. Fortunately, after doing some research and studying trends from previous years, five states have emerged at the top.
Wisconsin is known for its bustling college towns and delicious cheese curds; it’s no wonder why this state tops the list. Wisconsin has an impressive number of bars per capita, ranking third among all states. The state also consumes an average of 4 gallons of alcohol per person each year – more than any other state in America. Coupled with its strong culture of collegiate celebrations and sports fandom makes Wisconsin the perfect place to party the night away!
Next up we have North Dakota – a state renowned for having one of the highest percentages of excessive drinking nationwide at 21%. This drink-friendly culture makes North Dakota an obvious choice when it comes to partying hard. Further evidence can be found in its high usage rates of cannabis (twice as high as the national average) as well its high rankings on various lists related to top party schools; including its inclusion on both Princeton Review’s and Niche’s lists for 2021.
Montana not only boasts an impressive 10 bars per 10,000 people but also ranks second across all US states for cannabis usage according to a survey conducted by Statista in 2020. Additionally, Montana tops many lists related to college parties; with colleges like Montana State University making their way onto Niche’s list for 2021! Whether you’re at a frat house party or attending a tailgate event outside a football game – Montana offers plenty of exciting opportunities to let loose and have fun!
Wyoming falls into fourth place on this list due to being one of the few states that have legalized recreational marijuana use – giving those looking to lighten up their evenings additional options beyond alcohol use. Not only that – Wyoming is also home to some fantastic universities like the University of Wyoming which made Princeton Review’s 2021 list for best party schools! Plus with four bars per 10,000 people, they rank highly on WalletHub’s study too!
Last but not least we have South Dakota which rounds out our top five most party states thanks to its diverse array of college town options like Sioux Falls alongside loads more smaller cities and towns throughout the state. Whether you’re looking for dive bars or student house parties – South Dakota has got you covered when it comes to finding places where you can let your hair down! What is more- South Dakota has 5 bars per 10k people meaning there is never any shortage of places where you can grab drinks throughout your night out with friends!
All in all these US states offer exceptional opportunities when it comes to letting loose and having a good time – so if partying is something that interests you then these should definitely be at the top of your list when planning your next vacation spot in 2023!
