Which states are the most interested in finding hangover remedies? Do some states just deal with the hangover? National Hangover Day — you might know it by its more common name, "New Year's Day" — is just behind us, but we're still feeling groggy, so we took a look at some Google Trends data to find the answers to these questions.
Some states simply drink more than others. That doesn't mean those states will lead the way in terms of searching for hangover remedies, though the states that drink more would make sense to appear in this article. Let's take a look at the data and provide analysis.
States that Search Hangover Remedies the Most
We broke down which states have most frequently searched the term "hangover remedies" in the past five years, past year and past six months. There's variation between the three lists, but a few states consistently show up near the top.
