MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee has been ranked by Forbes.com as "America's Drunkest City" on a list of 35 major metropolitan areas ranked for their drinking habits.
Forbes said Tuesday it used numbers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to rank cities in five areas: state laws, number of drinkers, number of heavy drinkers, number of binge drinkers and alcoholism.
Minneapolis-St. Paul was ranked second overall; followed by Columbus, Ohio; Boston; Austin, Texas; Chicago; Cleveland; Pittsburgh and then Philadelphia and Providence, R.I., in a tie for ninth.

I would think that being drunk would be a necessity in order to consume most of the beers produced in Milwaukee.

Columbus and Austin being in the top 5 makes sense. Both have a huge college population...50,000 plus students at OSU and UT.

Hank, the angry druken dwarf, hailed from Massachusetts. He will be honored at the Kennedy Compound.

Austin is mentioned, but Houston isn't. We've got work to do.Austin's leftover hippies have to get skunk drunk to think they are happy. Just go to 6th street or to any of the music festivals and they are falling down and puking everywhere.

Austin is mentioned, but Houston isn't. We've got work to do. THIS is an outrage.
Hey, this isn't because I've been out of town for so long, is it?
C'mon, Houston, LET'S ROLL!!
