3 Things To Know About How Delawareans Like To Happy Hour
Happy Hour is a time to let loose after a long day at work, with a few drinks and some friendly conversation with co workers or friends. And those of us here in Delaware are certainly no stranger to a good Happy Hour.
The crew over at Shane & Co. surveyed nearly 2,600 Americans to find out what happy hours look like across the U.S.
Here’s What They Found Out About Happy Hour
There are a few states who prefer a non-alcoholic option while out, like Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Ohio and Utah.
With the exception of Massachusetts and New York, most states prefer an early start time of 4pm or 5pm.
The average person likes to spend about 78 minutes out, consuming 2 or 3 drinks and spending about $35. I’d say that seems about right.

Methodology
The data provided was based off of a survey conducted by Shane & Co. in June of 2023. The sample size was 2,600 Americans, excluding any participants from Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. The participants of the survey came from a wide variety of demographics. The survey included questions about happy hour preferences, influences, and experiences. The aim was to gather insights into the attitudes and behaviors surrounding happy hour across the United States.
University Of Delaware Makes List of Top 50 Party Schools in U.S.
44. College of Charleston
The Cistern at the College of Charleston
Charleston is a great town. It definitely has parts of it that feel like you’re in a small college town. But it also has parts that have the southern charm of a small town. Great food, great music, and great drinks.

Great weather, great college town, and a historically great athletic department (although it might be down right now).
38. University of Cincinnati

Cincinnati is a big metro area, so I knew there would be plenty of bars and restaurants. But the students at UC know how to party with the best of them.
36. University of Kansas

This was the scene after Kansas won the basketball national championship in 2022. Any student base that can create a scene like this has to know a thing or two about partying at an elite level.
35. James Madison University

JMU has been on the party scene for years. The campus is less than 100 miles from Washington DC, but still remote enough to have the college town feel.
24. Rutgers University- New Brunswick

Any student section that shows up in these numbers to support a well below average athletic department knows what they’re doing. Also being in New Jersey, they need to lift their spirits somehow.
