Hard Drinking in Seattle

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.

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!
