Where are people drinking the most in West Michigan? The answer might surprise you.

My first guess would have been perhaps Van Andel Arena at concerts and sporting events...but I was wrong.

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Liquor Control Commission recently released their sales numbers for last year. The amounts show the total amount of alcohol that businesses have purchased through the State of Michigan.

Which Business Has Purchased the Most Alcohol in the State of Michigan?

It was no surprise that Little Caesars Arena in Detroit tops the list with $1,025,489 in alcohol purchases. The top 20 sales amounts are all in the Detroit area.
