There are some things that Georgia folks just cannot resist–sweet tea, sweet potato pie, getting outside during the summer. Unfortunately, some of these favorite past times can also become our ultimate demise! Here are 8 ways you’re probably going to die if you’re from Georgia:
When it rains it pours! Well in Georgia, when it rains, there's multiple car accidents all around! Georgia is growing in size as more and more people are moving here and as a result, traffic can be pretty bad in metropolitan areas. If you live near a large city in Georgia, you're more than likely to find yourself in an accident or two.
We just cannot resist our southern food! We love our mac and cheese, chicken dumplings, cornbread, bread pudding, and more! Even if this means high cholesterol there's no way we're cutting these foods out of our diets completely!

Sweet tea is an irresistible drink that Georgians just can't deny! One of our favorite drinks here in Georgia is sweet tea made with extra sugar! We'll also take it with Lemonade as an Arnold Palmer!
Hunting is a big sport here in Georgia! In addition to hunting guns, Georgia's governor passed a bill last year that allows everyone to carry a firearm. It's best to stay out of the way if you don't know what you're doing!

While we do have bike riding enthusiasts in Georgia, it's just not safe! The roads are still primarily meant for cars and bike lanes are either not respected or not there.
