17. Louisiana
People tend to deny their state’s stereotypes with all their might, but in the case of Louisiana, there’s no way to deny that what they like most it to party, and what they do best are festivals. Though Mardi Gras is their biggest festival of the year, they don’t sit around for twelve months waiting for it to come around, rather they find any reason to celebrate all the time, and so every Tuesday in Louisiana is a cause for celebration.
With partying, of course, comes drinking, and so people from Louisiana know a thing or two about drinking. While they won’t deny their love of partying, they might not agree on the drinking part, but that’s just a stereotype they have to learn how to live with, because it doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere. Perhaps the drinking has something to do with it, but people in Louisiana are also among the nicest people you’d ever meet.
