Washington State vs. Wisconsin isn’t just an early season Power 5 matchup. It’s a preview of the drunkest possible Rose Bowl.
The Cougars travel to Madison in Week 2, where they’ll be greeted by a city eager to offer Bloody Marys at 6 a.m. on a weekday, even if they’re wearing business attire. There is no state in the union that drinks quite like Wisconsin, where bars outnumber supermarkets on roughly a 3:1 basis (you can also buy both liquor and beer at these supermarkets. I personally recommend Woodman’s, whose alcohol selection is roughly the size of the local grocer I grew up with back in Rhode Island).
