Michiganders Averaged Over $1,700 On Drinks After Work In 2019

People in Michigan appear to take Happy Hour very seriously.

Alcohol.org surveyed 3,000 workers asking how often they go out for after-work drinks and what they spend on average. It was found that workers in Michigan spent $1,741 in 2019 on after-work drinks. To put it in perspective, that’s the equivalent of over 650 beers!

Although that seems like a lot of money, Michigan was well below the national average of $3,035 on after-work drinks. Broken down across the country, Kentucky was determined to have spent the most, with an average of over $5,530 per year. Maine spent the least at $1,415.

Around the Midwest, Ohio led the way and Michigan ranked the lowest.
