WASHINGTON 鈥� New Year鈥檚 Day is a time for reflection, resolution and improvement 鈥� and/or any way to get through the next few hours with a splitting headache. And the folks at have the data to prove it.
They took a look at the most-searched terms on Google Trends on New Year鈥檚 Day 2018 and broke it down state-by-state.
In Maryland (as well as Delaware), the most searched-for term was 鈥淚HOP.鈥� That’s the kind of “breakfast” you need after a New Year’s Eve of celebration.
In Virginia, the top term was 鈥渉ow to open a champagne bottle.鈥� Impressive, actually 鈥� New Year鈥檚 Day is generally considered a little late for that, but evidently the party rolls on in the commonwealth. (Texas, too.)
A few of the other states鈥� results were a little puzzling. In Indiana and Arizona, they searched for 鈥渉angover symptoms.鈥� It鈥檚 kind of self-explanatory, people.
Florida was the most responsible (?!) state, with 鈥渃ab near me鈥� coming out on top, while several states got down to business, asking whether and when stores such as Costco and Walmart were open.
And in New Mexico and Rhode Island, they searched for 鈥渄etoxification.鈥� As the highspeedinternet.com folks point out, it鈥檚 not clear whether they meant a detox diet or whether they were looking for more than the usual hangover cure. As a native Rhode Islander, I know which way I鈥檓 betting in the Ocean State鈥檚 case.
