According to Forbes, Providence is the fourth “hard-drinking” city in the country. It seems they get their rankings by taking the percentage of residents who had at least one drink in the last 30 days, the percentage of men who had at least two drinks per day and women who had a least one drink per day, and the percentage of residents who had five or more drinks on one occasion.
I don’t know why I care, but I like seeing Providence ranked high on lists. We were beat out by Austin, TX; Milwaukee, WI; and San Francisco, CA. The only other area city on the list was Boston, which came in ninth. Keep drinking Providence!
It looks like you just barely beat out Chicago. I guess I’m gonna have to start picking up the slack!
