MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee has been ranked by Forbes.com as "America's Drunkest City" on a list of 35 major metropolitan areas ranked for their drinking habits.

Forbes said Tuesday it used numbers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to rank cities in five areas: state laws, number of drinkers, number of heavy drinkers, number of binge drinkers and alcoholism.

Minneapolis-St. Paul was ranked second overall; followed by Columbus, Ohio; Boston; Austin, Texas; Chicago; Cleveland; Pittsburgh and then Philadelphia and Providence, R.I., in a tie for ninth.

In Milwaukee's case, it's more Blue Ribbon.

Upper MW and the NE seem well represented.

Medical research studies have shown that Scandinavians and the Irish have higher alcoholism rates than do most (but certainly not all) racial/ethnic groups.

Austin is mentioned, but Houston isn't. We've got work to do.
