Americas drunkest cities

Post by AdamBomb8 »

Well, it can't come as a surprise, as the city of Milwaukee is known as "The Nation's Watering Hole," and was, at one time, home to four of the world's largest breweries: Schlitz, Pabst, Blatz, and of course, Miller, which is the only one left in the city currently. Still, the drinking habits of Milwaukeeans are what made it #1 on Forbes' list of the "Drunkest Cities in America."

Forbes took the 35 largest metropolitan areas and ranked them in order of "drunkenness," based on five parameters: state laws, number of drinkers, number of heavy drinkers, number of binge drinkers and alcoholism. Rounding out the Top 10:

1. Milwaukee, WI
2. Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN
3. Columbus, OH
4. Boston, MA
5. Austin, TX
6. Chicago, IL
7. Cleveland, OH
8. Pittsburgh, PA
9. Philadelphia, PA
10. Provdence, RI

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,

Millvale - just outside of Pittsburgh (by like 3 miles) held the world's record for MANY years on the most bars and funeral home in a square mile..
