Minneapolis / St Paul as #2???
I guess having alot of colleges helps that.(I live there so I know) Milwaukee, I beleive as the #1 drinking city. There the home of the Brewers Baseball team. Oh and when in Milwaukee, do the brewery tour of Lake Front Brewery, $5s gets you 4 beer tokens, a free glass, a funny tour, and another free beer at a local establishment. And the beer is pretty good to, better then any other beer brewed in that town

I'm in the States right now, and yesterday I was amazed to discover there's a campaign to raise the legal drinking age to 25. So much for the age of the majority being 18.

Why not just raise it to 100, that way noone drinks?!

Well todays youth, needs to learn to respect drinking. To many times I see those youngns' drink till they pass out. (I'm 27) Yes I have a beer or 2 at times, but its undercontrol. Say its increased, like thier going to listen anyhow. Its 21 right now, and under 21 drink all the time, in secret. In the bars they can't.

I'm an American who lives in Wales, but I'm back home at the moment. 1) Here in CT I haven't heard a thing about upping the age to 25 and 2) It would never ever ever pass. Not in a million years. The government has done some really shitty things that the majority of the population disagrees with, but the christian freaks won't get the best of us on the drinking.
21 is a joke anyhow. Its called having a friend who works in a grocery store. And then stealing it. Ha.

There is no such thing as a bad drinker...Just that some people are better drinkers than others!
