The shots people love to drink in every state

America is very divided when it comes to its favorite alcoholic shot.

According to Blowfish's nonscientific survey of 5,249 Americans, a plurality of states prefers lemon drops, with Jägerbombs as a close second.

Shot preferences can vary a lot even among neighboring states: while lemon drops are popular in most of the East Coast, New Jersey is an outlier in the region for its love of Southern Comfort lime, and Rhode Island for its love of tequila shots, which are mostly popular in states with large Latino populations.
