I was actually sent up to Mass once while in the military for seven days. I only worked three out of the seven days and drove around the entire state...including the cape. I have to admit that you run into alot of heavy drinkers and alcoholics...even in the middle of the day. The cost of living is silly and you feel like you have to watch your backside for possibly robbery. The cape is overated but its worth a day.
If you had Senators like John Kerry and Ted Kennedy and a Congressman like Barney Frank, you'd drink a lot too.
