Aug. 26, 2006 - Columbus in the top five

Sadly it is not the best list to be on.  According to Forbes.com Columbus is in the top five for "drunkest cities."

The top five are Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Columbus, Ohio; Bostin and Austin,Texas.

"Of course, just because a city ranks high on the list doesn't make it a den of debauchery. A top-drinking town could be populated by grandmas who imbibe a glass of wine every night to keep their heart healthy. And just because someone tips back a few beers doesn't make them irresponsible."

I heard it first from someone who works at the brewery...

I am shocked.  Minneapolis is in the top 5 drunkest cities!  I gotta check that article out! 

Now that I've checked out the article, I have to laugh.  Only 35 cities were in the sample and a great weight was given to residents admitting to having one drink in the last week!  I'm a one or two drinks a year person, but most people I know who enjoy alcohol will have at least one beer a week!  And that makes the town high on the drunkenness scale?  Admission of alcoholism would not surprise me either as we are the health care capitol of the nation:  United Health Group, Allina, Medica, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and a myriad of other smaller companies are all blasting us with consumer info about alcohol, smoking, domestic abuse, child neglect, etc.  It's funny to think of St. Paul as a drunk town as we pretty much roll up the sidewalks at 7 PM!  Funny list.

Yes Bonnie, Minneapolis is number two....  I don't know that it is a great  study... not a lot of cities were sampled.   Maureen
