Freshly brewed coffee is too hot to drink (for me anyway), so my cold mug acts as a way to get the beverage down to a more drinkable temperature faster. 

Just be a real beer geek and get a bottle opener on your keychain.

No, Wisconsin isn’t on the list because most of the drinking happens at home, where drinking 4 beers costs the same as drinking one at the bar.

Yup, remember the words of Lewis Black:

Wisconsin is not on the list because of the cost. Ask anyone who live on the Illinois/Wisconsin border which side they purchase beer on. Now if you want to talk volume?
