It’s indicative of life in Rhode Island for many many people… completely miserable & soul sucking, so a certain percentage will always choose to self-medicate with alcohol.

What makes you think this issue is unique to Rhode Island?

There are a lot of factors in our culture/society which contribute to substance abuse and addiction that are not specific to RI.

That's a bit of a stretch. Just because people are buying & tossing away nips doesn't mean they're alcoholics, and alcoholism is a lot more complex an issue than not liking the state you live in.
