San Francisco = The 3rd Drunkest City in America

Think about that as you are busily chugging down a bottle of bubbly for NYE. The Daily Beast put together a slide show of the 40 most alcohol-fueled cities in the States. Milwaukee, WI was #1 while Fargo, ND came in at #2. And while SF got the bronze, we clearly beat the leaders in “Percent of adults who are heavy drinkers” (8.2) and “Deaths per 100,000 residents from alcoholic liver disease” (6.9). Hm, perhaps another item to add to that NYE resolution list?
