It's Brew City for a reason

Forbes.com taps Milwaukee as America's drunkest city

If it's a typical weekend night and Rick DeMeyer knows he's not driving, he might suck back 10 to 12 beers and three or four shots of whiskey while out at the clubs with friends.

"Does that sound like a lot?" asked DeMeyer, 28, a DJ and graphic designer.
Depends on whom you ask.
On Tuesday, Forbes.com named Milwaukee "America's Drunkest City" on a list of 35 major metropolitan areas ranked for their drinking habits. The report put Brew City way above stereotypical party towns Las Vegas (No. 14) and Miami (No. 33) and warned of the "serious trouble" Milwaukee could experience based on its alcohol consumption.

Well done Milwaukee, you have to be number one in somethnig besides dumping poop in the Lake.
Lets work on being the fattest city again too...

We'll never be close to fattest as long as Texas is around. I think 3 of the top 5 are in Texas. Unless they can find a negative to pin on the fact that Milwaukee drinks more, I fail to see a problem with this. We are better partiers and better drinkers than the rest of the world. So be it.

It's good to have goals.

No goals, just the situation. So be it. For every Milwaukee native who is proud of it, there are 10 other peopel from other cities who are jealous. Starting with Chicago, New York and LA.

BTW, a negative to drinking more? Hmmmm. What could that be?
