Well, if you look at a globe, there is a point in one of the outmost
Aleutians( probably not shown on streets and trips, cause there aren't gonna
be any streets..) That is just over the 180 line, thereby making it part of
the Eastern Hemisphere, and that will be a short single malt, with a water
back...

According to streets and trips the western most part of Alaska (an
island nammed Attu) is at:
~172.45 East

Westernmost part of Hawaii is at:
~160.25 West

So Alaska wins that one.

As for eastern most a quick look shows the tip of Maine at:
~66.95 West

Nothing else comes close on this one, unless you count the virgin
islands.

Note this is only visual using streets and trips, I might have missed
something. TTYL
