Did you ever stop to observe your surroundings and were convinced you lived in the most beautiful state in America?
Or, maybe, you had some late nights out and believe you live in the drunkest state.
Business Insider conducted a very unscientific and very entertaining poll asking Americans to express their opinions about the states in a variety of silly and subjective categories.
Respondents could not answer questions with the state in which they live. More than 1,600 people took the survey online and the answers help us get a rough picture of the opinions Americans hold about certain states.
The Business Insider survey has a heat map for each of the questions asked that show the intensity of responses. You can check those out here. But for a quick look at the results see the summary below.
