Can't imagine why Paul Christoforo ever left.
 
2011-12-29 06:04:38 PM
Hmm, no wonder. I never left Boston sober.

This how he is able to sneak into conventions. The guy who works the door is drunk.

Not Albany NY? I figured it might be a top 25. What I can't figure out is Springfield MA and Providence RI.

As for Boston I can only say "NORM!"

Lots of people smoking pot in front of bars also. Never experienced anything like it until I moved here.

It's decriminalized and the cops don't care.

slimfast: Providence RI.

Go there on club night and you will get it.

There are also lots of colleges in that city. And nobody has a job.

Once again, the Florida Keys are dissed (yes, I know the Keys as a whole are not a city, but still, we are a drinking community ).

Yeah. It is still pretty weird though. Nothing wrong with it just kind of weird.

Boston: "Average monthly drinks consumed per person: 15.5"

That is a slow weekend for me.
 
2011-12-29 06:12:33 PM
I know some influential people, like the guy who runs the doors at the convention center. In Boston.
 
2011-12-29 06:13:18 PM
WTF is up with the non-alcoholic Coors in the Denver pic?

I have 3 kids. At average consumption that would be 62 drinks per month for my household. Probably about right.

Agreed. I believe fark can band together and label Boston's populace for what they really are: Amateur alcoholics.

I might just have to head in for NYE after all.
 
2011-12-29 06:17:56 PM
I was hoping Milwaukee would be on there. I never even realized I HAD a drinking problem until I moved away from Milwaukee.

Charleston, South Carolina made the list? Makes me wonder if all the tourists passing through didn't have something to do with it. Or maybe they have to take a drink everytime one of the asshole politicians in Columbia does something stupid.

downstairs: New Orleans not in the top 3?

Next.


Came to say this. In addition to the local custom of getting drunk over breakfast, we have a bajillion people showing up annually for the sole purpose of getting drunk and laid by a 14 year-old transvestite.

The only place I've been where the drinking seemed to outpace a typical day in NOLA was Madison, Wisconsin. Something's wrong when even a pro-circuit drinker like me can't last the night with you. And I'm good, bro. Hell, I'm drunk right now.

Lastly, one of the fun charms of New Orleans is that drinking is not frowned upon. If anything, waiters look at you funny when you don't order alcohol with your omelet. It's just part of the culture. And if you live in certain neighborhoods, 24-hour delis will deliver booze right to your door at 5:30 on a Monday morning.

"Quartermaster, may I help you?"

"Yeah, I need a shrimp po-boy, a bottle of Windex, a box of Trojans, a side of hash browns, a Snickers bar and, oh yeah, lemme get a fifth of Johnnie Walker Black."

And many of the bars are open 24/7. Suck it, haters.
 
2011-12-29 06:25:48 PM
List fails hard, Madison isn't on it.

/why yes, I'm a Wisconsinite. How'd you know?
 
2011-12-29 06:26:27 PM
Milwaukee demands a recount. Grandmothers in Milwaukee could drink any other town's most battle-scarred boozin' champ under the table on any random Tuesday afternoon without even breaking a sweat. Milwaukee is so drunk, the municipal water supply is 40 proof. Drinking is a birthright in Milwaukee.

I mean, c'mon...Brewtown vs. Beantown, and BOSTON is supposedly drunker? Beeyotch, please.

Given that 1oz of grain alcohol equivalent = 1 drink, that's approximately two Manhattans on those nights I have a bottle of rye lying around.

What? Doesn't everybody serve their cocktails in a tumbler?

/gimme a glass of Manhattan

NYC just hasn't been the same since alcohol was criminalized here.

Seriously. That's quite literally what I go through in a typical work week. Not including the weekends. I'll usually nurse my way through 3 random tasty beers between the time I get home from work and go to sleep around 1 or 2 am. Though I actually usually drink only one or two beers on the weekend, if at all, unless I'm visiting friends or at a party or something. Shiat, I probably go through somewhere in between 80 - 90 beers a month.

And I'm just some regular Joe who likes craft beers.

Not only are we 1st, we are also 8TH. (Both links pop to two positions in the same Boston Globe slideshow, the assembler of which was, I assume, hammered).

Technically, he's from Everett, which explains a lot.

This just in,,, Boston has a larger population of collage students then most cities therefor may sell more booze then other urban centers.

At least you have the STD and crime rates on lockdown.

Until recently (most of my 20s and early 30s). Now I live uptown, which is also a great neighborhood but, alas, no 24 hour booze delivery! FFFFFUUUUUUUU

I've strongly considered opening some sort of 24-hour delivery service for simple food and booze. Given the universities up here and the dearth of all-night stores since Katrina, I'm pretty sure it could be successful. As far as I know, no one between the Exxon at Lee Circle all the way to Riverbend is open all night for booze, let alone delivery. If you're familiar with Verti-Mart and Quartermaster, that's the model I'd go with.

Do people really hate Boston that much? I understand hating the sports teams but the city is pretty fun.
