Milwaukee should be disqualified... as they are professionals...

Could be why Jacksonville is the birthplace of AA in the southeast.

With our recent  resolution that passed the Jacksonville city council 16-1 that will change the charter for an (Urban Transition Area in Riverside). This legislation should help us move up the list rather quickly.

We need another round over here!

Another MJ Pub Crawl might help us move up the list.

the worlds largest outdoor cocktail party HAS to make the list right??

Im sure I contribute to this number

It's interesting to see a mix of bigger and smaller cities to make the list. I had always assumed the smaller the town, the less there is to do so the more they drink. Just ask my cousin who lives in the sticks of North Georgia!

'Binge Drinking' is considered anyone who has more than 4 drinks in one outing.

Shouldn't every adult with Jags tickets be considered a binge drinker??

There seems to be no order to the list.  Half the cities are very vibrant and fun, while half the cities are dead.  I guess Jax would fall in one of those two categories.

Except at two riverside bars of course, where everyone is professionally miserable, but I think they secretly enjoy the nihilistic gloom.

Do Tell.

I'd like to set up a Riverside crawl in the next couple months.

Stephan,  One of them has to be the Wall Street, but what is the other? "Inquiring minds want to know!"  Don't want to walk into it by accident since my bar visiting days are mostly over and I don't want to waste an occasion.

Jacksonville has some good "bar areas," but it seems like a "house party" city because there really aren't that many large bar districts to go to.  The heaviest drinking usually occurs at house parties.

**Also, does anyone find the irony here considering how many Baptists there are in this town?

Q: Why should you always invite two Baptists over for a football game?
A: Invite only one and he`ll drink all your beer.

Jews don't recognize Jesus as the Son of God.
Protestants don't recognize the pope as the Ruler of the Church.
Baptists don't recognize each other in a liquor store.

mmmmmmm...............The only place where I list the number of drinks I've had is on medical history questionairs at the doctor's office. Where does this survey get their data from?

[Dog Walker]

Maybe reported sales of alcoholic beverages divided by the number of adults in the census.  I think the sales have to be reported for the state beverage taxes.
