Well, here in the Land of the Home of SPAM, Post-It Notes, and the Bundt Pan, we now have the 2nd most drunk metro area according to Forbes. That does go a long way toward explaining the wild ride home every day during rush hour and why I have to stand in a long line every day at the liquor store.

We're currently striving to be #1, but Milwaukee, WI is proving to be very formidable at holding onto the top spot.

Well, gotta go now. It's 10:30am and I'm already late for happy hour.

Edit: I tried to correct my spelling of Minneapolis on the title, but I couldn't. Plus it's kind hard to see right now.

Larry, during my recent excursion into the Midwest I found the drivers in Minneapolis/St.Paul to be relatively polite, especially compared to say, oh... Cleveland. So, your drunks must be happy drunks.

Actually, Ray, I've figured out why we are in the list. It's because of St.Paul which is the capital of Minnesota. The rest of the top ten are mostly capital cities (Boston, Columbus, Austin, etc.) Now having that many politicians crowded into a metro area will, by themselves, create more drunkenness. Or it could be that having that many politians around drive the rest of us to drink heavily.

So the question that begs here is, why is Milwaukee #1. Well the answer is that Milwaukee is........well....Milwaukee.
