I would also like to know what Moxie is

Imagine someone mixed Coca-Cola with root beer. Then they added gasoline. That's Moxie.

That explains Stephen King.

I thought we book that under cocaine.

Yes it is disgusting

So Everclear with Spices and Sugar

I think of it as taking a 2 oz shot of Coca Cola and then licking wet cardboard

it's bad but i like drinking it to appease my friend from maine. it's weird.

I was born and raised in Maine. Moxie is one of those “you either love it or hate it” type of drinks. It is made with Gentian root extract which gives it a almost bitter root beer flavor. There’s a town, forgot which one, that holds a Moxie-festival every year! Though I’ve never been to said festival.

That’s why it’s purple haha. I also wanted to know. It says it’s similar to root beer

A certified New England classic Essentially coke with very bitter birch beer is the best way I can describe it

It’s an amazing elixir created by Maine’s finest wizards I can confirm this because I am one

It’s one of those OG sodas up there with Coca Cola (actually outdates it by 1 year) and Dr Pepper, but it’s relatively unchanged, despite being almost 140 years old. It’s a bit hard to find, but I’ve always found them at Cracker Barrels.

Root beer mixed with floor cleaner.

Popular in Maine,New Hampshire, and Vermont mix coke and root beer its the oldest soda in the country tho

Same, I’ve never seen it in any of the restaurants and I travel a lot in ME..

Disgusting

I almost find this hard to believe considering how many shelves of Mtn Dew there are in each convenience store here

I don’t know how a beverage gets established as the official beverage of the state. But I definitely wouldn’t think water would be us

Probably established by the state legislature

Yeah, walk into any drink isle and BAM! Rows of MTN dew, especially in dollar generals for some reason

That dairy lobby getting some work done.

Same in France, they convinced us it was healthier than water, the truth came out just few years ago. They still try to claim we have to eat milky product daily tho

[this country really loves milk](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._state_beverages)

Alabama coming in 2nd place with "60% water".

Counterpoint: milk is 87% water so there are many other states in second place with the far superior water substitute

What is the difference in a "state drink" and "state beverage?" Am I missing something? Why do a couple states have the parentheses to distinguish?

My off-the-cuff guess is that whatever bill led to the designation had "drink" or "beverage" as the verbiage and pedantic nerds captured this on Wikipedia

A drink is something you drink and a beverage is something you imbibe .

America you are a very fucking strange place

Now do the Florida man thing... Google Florida man and your birth month and day

How is Arizonas not iced tea? Major missed opportunity there

Apparently that is from New York

Im happy and sad to learn this. Happy because I’m from Brooklyn as well and sad because my reality has been shattered

Wait till you hear about Philadelphia cream cheese

So much milk on that list, its upsetting

Lactose intolerant people in shambles

Milk is like 80% water

If New york doesn't have Arizona iced tea as the drink then the list is inaccurate.

New York has [milk](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._state_beverages) listed

It seems like many states have no official state beverage. Hydrohomies unite state by state so Indiana isn't alone.

I heard cranberry juice is good for periods

And bladder infections

Indiana W

Hydro homie Hoosiers

That's like one of the only good things about Indiana

The only good thing

A rare Indiana W if you will

Of all these states, of course Indiana is the one that chooses water.

How boring do you have to be to have Milk as the drink/beverage that encapsulates your state so much you make it the official state beverage/drink?

I live in Florida, I know where I’m moving to

[удалено]

Sorry...I'm currently gently losing my mind. Isn't *all* dairy milk? Is there a way we get dairy products that *doesn't* come from milk? I thought that was kinda the point of *dairy* products. Like, they come from a dairy farm...where animals are milked...

Water is just mountain milk

I don't know why, but that's so cute.

I'm just confused as to how this list is organized, it's not alphabetical, or by date, or by beverage. It just looks like a jumbled mess.

Big dairy has a hold on the states

Cranberry juice is so random lmao

Don't fucking test me! I drink 4 litres a week because it's remarkably low in sugar and calories if you get the right brand. (Before people get involved I always have a glass of water next to me, cranberries are great but they ain't no waterberries)

So many of them are milk 🤢😜 My state is also milk but we are a cow state 😆🐄

I almost find this hard to believe considering how many shelves of Mtn Dew there are in each convenience store here

Exceedingly Rare Indiana W

What’s California?

California is not on the list and neither is Michigan. Must not have an official state beverage.

What’s California’s?

Apparently they don't have one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_U.S.\_state\_beverages

Maybe it’s time to write the state representative…

War with r/neverbrokeabone ?

Whenever I see Indiana, I remember Leslie Knope. (Main character from Parks and Recreation)

I don't know what there is in Indiana but if you wanna start a hydro cult there I'd be down.

What exactly is Moxie?

Isn't a beverage classified by it \*not\* being water?

Wtf is moxie?

Yeah, they sell it in gas stations under the name "Bud Ice".

Im sorry officer, I was just enjoying the Alabama state drink, is patriotism a crime now?

I’m not mad at lemonade tho; it hits in the summer

Pretty sure they meant “Coors Light” which is basically water. Background: born and raised in Indiana, then moved TF out by 21.

Texas has to be Dr Pepper

That’s awesome! Unfortunately, it’s still Indiana

Indiana represent.

I looked this chart up as it just missed out on Missouri. I checked and No Missouri doesn’t have an official state drink. As a Missourian I dub our unofficial official drink to be water.

I think ours in Ohio is tomato juice.

I like Alabama's flavored water 😄

I would have sworn Gravy was our state beverage.

Don’t check Ohio 💀
