101 Booziest Counties in the USA -- or, Li'l Rhody is A Drunk

Cook County gettin' killed by Lake and DuPage. Step it up Chicagoans.

Hennepin and Dakota reppin' for MN, but no notation as to whether they mean drinking actual alcohol or eh 3.2 beer.

king county WA # 1 west of the mississippi baby!

The standard is % of residents who have had one drink in the last 30 days? I call bullshit! The standard should be the ratio of residents to units of booze consumed.

I bet that fifth RI county is being insufferably self-righteous to the other four right now.

Bristol County is definitely the tight-ass of the Rhody family, for sure.

otm, a quick check of alcohol sales stats vs. population would make for a very different picture, methinks. Besides, what did they do, poll people? Did they ask the homeless?

No, the homeless got really belligerent about wanting money for a can of High Gravity when surveyed, so the demographic was ignored.

guys, every town in the country has at least a few prolific drunks but that is not the same as drunks per capita so stop being sore losers

So basically, not the South

LOL HI

it is ridic that milwaukee is #93, i thought it was one of the booziest cities in the country.

Elmo, here in Texas we don't even consider one beer a drink. STEP UP, MUTHAFUGA!

king county WA # 1 west of the mississippi baby!

Also, #1 in million-plus populated county. (actually close to 2 mil)

When do we coup t'etat the fucking WA Liquor Board already? Goddamn. I think my life would be 500% more fun if we re-elected the entire board, and these are primarily for non-booze reasons!

i dont get it, i read recently that denver was the most 'dangerously drunk' city in america. and i was sort of proud.

maybe we're just dangerous drunks and these stats are about overall drunkeness

these stats seem like they're more about social sippers and not DRUNKS

one raging drunk cannot overcome a dozen tetotalling grannies

One raging drunk and a dozen teatotalling grannies enter, one raging drunk leaves.

This map illustrates the average number of litres of alcohol consumed per capita based on data from 2003.
