FAVORITE BRUNCH DRINK IN EACH STATE

They call it The Hair of the Dog because rabid dog bites used to be treated by placing hair of the dog in the wound. And after a night out, you might be feeling a little wounded too, from all the drinks you put down the night before. That’s why a drink with brunch is the perfect cure for that hangover headache. We did some digging to see which of the following three drinks America craves the most when it needs a morning tipple – Bloody Mary, Mimosa or Beer – and the official American Eats champ is the Magnificent Mimosa. Champagne and OJ forever! Check out the graphic below to see what won in your state.
