Forbes has done some interesting research into which of America’s large metropolitan areas are home to the heaviest drinkers. Sorry to everyone who’s been working hard to bring their town to popularity as America’s Binge Drinking Capital. Maybe next list. Here’s the 15 cities most likely to need liver donors:

1. Austin, TX
2. Milwaukee, WI
3. San Francisco, CA
4. Providence, RI
5. Chicago, IL
6. Seattle, WA
7. Cleveland, OH
8. St. Louis, MO
9. Boston, MA
10. Cincinnati, OH
11. Pittsburgh, PA
12. Virginia Beach, VA
13. Portland, OR
14. Jacksonville, FL
15. Detroit, MI

I’ve sadly only been to one of these locales: San Francisco. Yes, yes I did drink there. I really need to go check out these cities. I wonder if the fine residents are fun, social drinkers or of the closeted, watching-Daily-Show-while-drinking-and-writing-blog-posts variety, such as myself.
