I knew I'd find St.Paul on it!!!

 

[vansmack2000]

i think just about every city was on it.
Omaha should have been top 3. that place has a bar just about every corner, and the only thing to do there is drink.

that's EXACTLY what i was about to say. i remember getting so trashed in the winter time. and you could truly "bulk" and not have anyone really notice, because of the weather. can't get away with that in florida or so cal

alot of others are big college towns....

no surprise.

That explains why all my friends drink all the time.

We're number one! We're number one!

[bigmann245]

las vegas was there.... im shocked.

well working night clubs for so many years id believe any city has there share of drinkers. is that per capita or how did it work?

 

[crew9]

Nothing like the midwest. There isn't much else to do if you don't drink.

 

[Inhibitor13]

That named all of my states big cities... My town is a hick ass town where everyone drinks practically 24/7. Theres nothing much to do here other than that !

Alcohol increases blood flow to the skin - this causes a person to sweat and look flushed. The sweating causes body heat to be lost, and the person's body temperature may actually fall below normal.

It actually lowers body temp....

 

[Wulfgar]

I know plenty of drunk assholes in San Diego
wtf?

 

[hardrock]

I'm suprised Madison didn't make it with all the college kids and all. Still just a hour or so from Milwaukee. I think Superior Wisconsin has the most bars per capita also.
