Billings ranks 3rd in the U.S. for...

Post by Billings_Griz » Fri Feb 05, 2010 9:48 am

A survey by Men’s Health has revealed the ‘wettest’ — i.e. ‘drunkest’ — cities in America. The magazine came up with the list based on data including death rates from alcoholic liver disease, booze-fueled car crashes, frequency of binge-drinking in the past month, number of DUI arrests, and severity of DUI penalties.

California had the most cities on the list — with three making the top ten:

1. Fresno, Calif.
2. Reno, Nev.
3. Billings, Mont.
4. Riverside, Calif.
5. Austin, Tex.
6. St. Louis, Mo.
7. San Antonio, Tex.
8. Lubbock, Tex.
9. Tucson, Ariz.
10. Bakersfield, Calif.

Is this your acceptance speech? Ya drunk bastard!

Alpha's moving here should bump us up to #1.

I can vouch for all of the top five


if you're keeping score, France gave us Burgundy wine, cigarettes, berets, B.O., brie and the Napoleon complex-Bill Simmons

I am surprised there are not more college towns on that list....

I am also surprised Bakersfield isn't higher. If I lived in Bakersfield, I would be drunk every single day.


We're all here 'cause we ain't all there.

With Alpha as our coach, we'll always win a lot and be in the top 5 but we'll never win it all. He can't win the big one. #-o

This has nothing to do with amount of alcohol consumption. It has to do with alcohol related deaths and DUIs. Im thinking Billings residents shouldn't be bragging about this.

And Alpha you would be proud. I was drinking Vodka/Pineapples last night. Delicious.


GO GRIZ!

BDrizzle, you dont have to prove anything to us, just keep being who you are and drinking those fruity con"cock"sions you call drinks.

Oh boy, this is rich. A guy who showed up to a Cat/Griz tailgate with fruit flavored vodka and then begged for some sort of soda to use as a mixer is giving a guy sh!t about drinking like a girl.
