Residents in the top 10 counties all reported 19% or higher (way higher for the top spot), where the overall percentage for Florida residents was 16%.
When we came to a tie, we used data from FindTheHome to determine which county had the highest number of bars per capita (given as bars per 10,000 residents). For reference, there are 4.22 bars per 10,000 people in Florida and 4.03 bars per 10,000 people for the U.S.
