It looks like Georgia has a drink in common with the bulk of the United States.

"We also broke down the most searched White Claw flavor by region – which you definitely won't want to miss," Joybird said.
As it turns out, White Claw is the most popular brand across the United States. The brand is especially popular on the West Coast and East Coast, and Georgia is no exception. The canned cocktail is the most searched in the Peach State and thus the most popular.
While the search data was compiled by reviewing Google Trends search data over the last 12 months, the results remained consistent as people in Georgia and around the country began sheltering in place. White Claw still reigned supreme, even though seven states, including Connecticut and New Jersey, were curious about the new hard seltzer Corona released.

As for the most-searched flavor in the South, that title goes to White Claw mango. The West also favored the flavor and mango tied with watermelon in the Midwest. The Northeast’s flavor of choice was black cherry.
The search interest in hard seltzers should come as no surprise. While people have remained at home, alcohol sales have increased. Research from Nielsen showed that in the week ending March 21, sales for alcoholic beverages in the United States rose by 55%. The biggest increase came from ready-to-drink cocktails, however, as sales increased by 106% .
