63% Dixie! I've lived in Florida, and Oklahoma my whole life. One southern state, and Oklahoma is a "southern kinda red neck" state, so... but, I LOVE Oklahoma! I miss it, too!

Seriously, was the drivethru liquor store question a joke, or do you guys (note: not y'all lol) actually have those??
Yup! Though I haven't seen one, or heard of one around, there is a drive through drink place... not sure if they sell liquor, but I know that there ARE drive through liquor stores! It's really weird, too! They crack down on drunk drivers, which, don't get me wrong, I believe is wonderful, but, then they temp them by giving them drive through liquor stores!?
I think that they should take those out!

Same here. I have my Pittsburgh "ants" and my Boston "awnts". I must have picked it up from my parents.

48% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

I was born and raised in California. My Dad is from Rhode Island and has lived in CA for about 35 yrs and people here still laugh at some of his "yankee" pronunciations after all those years.

Interesting. Most of my answers matched for the Great Lakes region, the Northeast, Ohio, Pa, and Michigan.

The only area I've ever heard of having one here in Florida is in Tallahassee. I'm sure there's others elsewhere, but that's all I've heard of!

It should be no big surprise that I know of at least 2 such places here in Slowvannah....

There is one in Winter Haven... called Beverage Castle, but I don't think they sell liquor. Well, I'm not sure. I don't know at all.
I know they sell regular beverages and such, but I don't know about liquor.

I'm 58% percent Dixie. I think my Mom would score a lot higher on that scale on the Dixie side though and my Dad a lot higher on the Yankee side.

Oh, we have them. They are called Brew-Thru's. There are some right along the outerbanks. I stopped at one in nagshead when I went on vacation last year.
