Second, we have more bud and coors drinking rednecks.
The primary reason is that Oklahoma is the only state where Big Beer doesn't offer their full-strength product to bars and liquor stores. In Kansas or Colorado for instance, you can buy a six-pack of Bud at a grocery store and its 3.2 but if you go to a liquor store or a bar you get the real thing. In Oklahoma, if you are drinking Bud, Miller, or Coors you are stuck with 3.2 ABW.
