Now That's Something to Be Proud Of..

[Melissa Johnson]

Milwaukee has won (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060824/ap_on_fe_st/drinking_ranking_1) the coveted title of "America's Drunkest City".

[dashboard1190]

Philly has some good drunk sports fans.

[Joe DeAndrea]

Well with a baseball team called the Brewers, who would have guessed?

[Drew Beringer]

Haha, my favorite baseball team. I grew up near Milwaukee.

[ATDIdakota]

That actually comes as a shock but not really in a sense. I expected Bloomington, IN to win this title. IU is the number 1 consumer of beer for any college in the country.

[Joe DeAndrea]

They play like drunk people, too.

[skeeter988]

When he's been a complete ASSHOLE to me and other staff, I can be the biggest bitch that I want.

Watch me be a bitch again!

[drgonzo]

Fixed.
hahaaha no it isnt!

[bigal00004]

And Minneapolis is 2nd, lol. Maybe its because it is so cold up here, people need the alcohol to stay warm.

[Jason Tate]

:dunce:

[Melissa Johnson]

hahaaha no it isnt!
Maybe if you weren't such a fucking :dunce: you'd see that yes, it DOES work.

Assclown.

[Chris Fallon]

I want to move to Milwaukee. Drunkards are fun people...when they aren't raping, pillaging and driving (although, all of that is still kinda fun).

[Joe DeAndrea]

fuck yeah....and fuck you to whoever said the brewers play like drunks

You know it's true, man.

[Gleebo]

They play like drunk people, too.

Yet still better than my Cubs, who play like they are more drunk than the people in the bleachers...which if you have been in the Wrigley Bleachers you know what im talking about.

Last year I sat in front of a British guy who wanted to attend a game just because of all the drinking he heard went on in the bleachers. He didn't care much about the game but seemed to enjoy calling Griffey a twat. He said that the bleacher drinking at Wrigley had nothing on soccer games in the UK...which kind of gives me an understanding on why soccer is so popular overseas.

[HanusMaximus]

I have no idea how to submit news but I would like to say on last night's colbert report Damien from OK Go was on for a good 5 mins discussing his music and videos.

[falloutdrea19]

milwaukee SUCKS. ugh.

See the toolbar at the top of your page? Click "Contact" then there's a link that says "submit news" on that page. :)

[Drew Beringer]

fuck yeah....and fuck you to whoever said the brewers play like drunks

Only 4.5 out of the Wild Card, we can do it!

Hahahaha awesome!

You need to post more again! Your threads were always entertaining!!!

[TakingBackNolan]

I didn't even need to read that report to know that. My dad always hits me twice as hard when we drive through Milwaukee.

[grace we bestow]

Yayyyy.

[thebestkylever]

I didn't even need to read that report to know that. My dad always hits me twice as hard when we drive through Milwaukee.

hahaahhaa

[saysmydoctor]

Milwaukee? Pish posh. Palm Springs is a bunch of rich drunks. They drink the 30% alchoholic wines for 300 bucks.

[SurfWaxKyle]

Milwaukee is the shit. But the real party is in Madison.

[TBSowns524]

im surprised that new york and la are not on the list. i guess because there are things to do there besides drinking, namely heroin.

[gregplaysdrums]

im kind of surprised that vegas isn't number one

[Bobcat46308]

haha, Columbus & Cleveland make the top 10. call me a homer, but Ohio is a damn good place to get drunk

[1Roth4]

well... this thread turned hostile.

i learned one thing.

don't fuck with tates women... or she'll engulf your remains in flames.

[SC0926]

hahah I love how all the people from WI come out in this thread. But anywho..yeah..Milwaukee is a pretty drunk city.

[miltownrob]

yes! we finally made it!

[miltownrob]

i just moved to milwaukee
woo marquette
i dont drink though
but still cool
what dorm are you staying in?

[PrimoEmo]

Milwaukee is amazing on Haloween.

Drunken stupor+costumes+thousands of people=amazing.

[muenginerd]

Milwaukee is amazing on Haloween.

Drunken stupor+costumes+thousands of people=amazing.

Halloween is ok, opening the bars at 6am on St. Patrick's Day is better! If you really want a Halloween party go to Madison!

You know you're in a race to be a drunken city when you're city smells like beer three days a week.

[Beyondclarity]

I'd like to make it known that Minneapolis/St. Paul was #2. I put in many good hours at hour local watering holes to make this possible.

Anyone who'd want to go to Milwaukee to get drunk should porlly just come to MNPLS.

Oh that note - I'm going to get the city started on taking that number one spot next year in only a matter of hours!

[redeyes]

i really hope they're not all drinkin the beast, that shit sucks.

[love_american_style]

oh yeah...thats a great city dont-cha-know. lots of great beer...those cows are still beter than these california dope smoking cows, dont-cha-know.

[Julia Conny]

Yessss. Pittsburgh made the top ten. But it should of been in the top three.

[Jenn23]

I know I always get drunk when I go to Milwaukee.

I went to a liquor store there once and they wanted like $36 for a fifth of Jack. Overpriced, much? I can get a 1.75L of Jack here for $39.99!

[zizou1790]

congrats and way to go pittsburgh holding a strong 7th

[Beyondclarity]

So I got to thinking - how do they even determine "America's Drunkest City"...

turns out they have a narticle that defines the methodology on their website:

http://www.forbes.com/2006/08/22/nightlife-cities-drunk_cx_de_nightlife06_0822method. html

[Badgers08]

Only 4.5 out of the Wild Card, we can do it!

oh god i hope we can. wild card would be amazing, but finishing over .500 would still sit fine with me. a 4 game sweep or even 3 of 4 from the marlins would and then take 2 of 3 from the Astros...while that is certainly wishful thinking (especially since they are both road series), it is definitely doable.

on a side note drew, my friends bro met farva and rabbit at a bar in milwaukee promoting their new movie "Beerfest". being named the drunkest city in america certainly proves they are promoting in the right spot!

[Badgers08]

i really hope they're not all drinkin the beast, that shit sucks.

you take that back!

[kylekillspeople]

They play like drunk people, too.

they are actually very solid this year. they'd be pretty good if injuries hadn't wrecked the season.
look at it this way though. i grew up in a house where i had a view of the rotating Pabst sign AND the miller brewery.....FROM MY BED. if i wasn't destined to be a consumer of large amounts of alcoholic beverages then who is?

Milwaukee is such a great town.

[kylekillspeople]

oh yeah...thats a great city dont-cha-know. lots of great beer...those cows are still beter than these california dope smoking cows, dont-cha-know.

yeah. you hear people talking like that every single day. we wear our cheeseheads to work and socks with sandals too.

[kylekillspeople]

Halloween is ok, opening the bars at 6am on St. Patrick's Day is better! If you really want a Halloween party go to Madison!

You know you're in a race to be a drunken city when you're city smells like beer three days a week.

HAHAHA! thats just when you drive through/over the menomonee valley. i'm not even sure it smells anymore because the yeast plant closed.

[kylekillspeople]

milwaukee SUCKS. ugh.

you suck and illinois sucks. there are no trees in chicago and that is depressing. the rest of the state is so flat and open it is mind boggling. fucking flat landers.

although i'm in love with a girl from the 'burbs. so i cant torch the place just yet.

[kylekillspeople]

fuck yeah....and fuck you to whoever said the brewers play like drunks

i'd just like to make it known that any member/fan of any team in the national league central that isnt called the Milwaukee Brewers is my sworn enemy and we will meet on the field of battle. Especially the fucking Reds. and the Cubs. and the Cards. The Bucs and Astros are too bad to be of any harm.

[MrChainsaw389]

Any contest about drunk cities that has New orleans in the late twenties is obviously flawed.

[miltownrob]

I know I always get drunk when I go to Milwaukee.

I went to a liquor store there once and they wanted like $36 for a fifth of Jack. Overpriced, much? I can get a 1.75L of Jack here for $39.99!

i get 1.75's for 28.99 so there. where the hell did you go?

[permanentdan]

haha so glad that something i submitted made the headlines! go pittsburgh!!

[love_american_style]

yeah. you hear people talking like that every single day. we wear our cheeseheads to work and socks with sandals too.

hahaha...i'm joking....you guys rock.

[ReshanBouncer]

You're damn right Milwaukee is. We win, all you wimps. I was born capable of taking 5 shots with no feeling! HUZZAH!

[muenginerd]

HAHAHA! thats just when you drive through/over the menomonee valley. i'm not even sure it smells anymore because the yeast plant closed.

I could definitely smell it down on 11th and Wisconsin for the five years I spent at Marquette. We actually had an indepth discussion one day about is it the tannery, yeast, Miller, or the lake. You just can't help but love Milwaukee!!!

[Melissa Johnson]

well... this thread turned hostile.

i learned one thing.

don't fuck with tates women... or she'll engulf your remains in flames.
I'm docile like a cat til I'm provoked. Then ill claw your eyes out..

Once again this proves that only jason can put up with me

[PaintMeBlue]

hooray wisconsin! at least we're known for something besides cheese now...
