Forbes must have an entire staff dedicated to list-making, because the magazine is at it again. This time ranking the hardest drinking cities in America. Seattle ranks a respectable eighth in the nation for drinking, where we are basically tied with drinkers in Cleveland and St. Louis. (We don't blame folks in St. Louis for drinking heavily--at all.) No surprise for anyone who's spent any time there and managed to remember any of it...Austin, Tex., is the hardest drinking city in America.

Tuesdays are Muppet Days


This should be like the Olympics, with a degree of difficulty in the rankings. Very, very easy to drink in Austin and Milwaukee - but even the Governor gets carded here and we're always herded into drinking pens at public events.
I'm doing my personal best to bump Seattle up to 7th!
