39% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

What's a drive through liquor store called? We don't have them around here. Must be a southern thing.

60% Dixie....

Well, I have spent the majority of my 33 years living in the south.......

AL, The only time I've ever seen a drive-thru liquor store was in Kansas City....that's NOT part of the south.

Things are different now but when I was just of legal age (18 back then) we had the local "Dew Drop Inn" which had a drive thru window and you could get a mixed drink right out of the window. Drinking and driving was considered a past-time. Times change.

Around here there's a couple beverage barn type places.....more like drive thru convenience stores than liquor stores......beer, wine, milk, cigarettes, etc.

I saw one for the first time when I moved to Arizona...A combination liquor store and a gun shop ...and you could purchase liquor, milk and such through the drive up...but not the guns.

Funny I've spent most of my life in NY. Although I have spent one month a year in the south the last few years.

We don't have those here either. But I did live in PA for awhile and they had some there with a big garage bay(like a drive thru carwash) where ya just pull in and load up.

In Oz they are called Drive-in Bottle Shops.   Most Pubs [Hotels] have them.

I didn't do the quiz....but hopefully I'd get "100% fair-dinkum Aussie" ....

76% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

Had to make do on #9 and #17 ... the sandwich is a Po'Boy and throwing paper over a house (and trees, cars, etc.) is called wrapping.

Oh, and we just call them beer stores .. don't matter if you can drive through or not

Lets see, first 16 years in Pennsylvania, two years in Florida, then the next 30 years in the military traveling to a lot of different places. Sounds about right.

48% Yankee!? Not sure where the other 52% went, been in California my entire life. So does this mean I flunked my naturalized statehood?
