One Martini, Two Martini, Three Martini, Floor -- America's Drunkest City? Milwaukee.

"Coming in second...is another chilly metro: Minneapolis-St. Paul. The twin cities ranked No. 2 for adults who reported having had a drink in the last month, No. 3 for binge drinkers and No. 12 for heavy drinkers.

Rounding out the top five drunkest cities are Columbus, Ohio; Boston; and Austin, Texas."

Surprisingly, party towns didn't top survey, but Boston and Austin did

Um, whoever wrote that subhead has never been to Austin.

And this is a surprise to anyone? I mean, "Milwaukee" is part of the name of at least two beers, and part of the ad slogan of another.

Columbus, on the other hand, gets in because of the Ohio State University.

Aren't they also the fattest?
