In my home State, it was a real source of pride when Playboy ranked the University of Wisconsin as the Number One Party School in America back in the '70s. While most now say it's an urban myth, a friend swears he transferred to Wisconsin after seeing one year's ranking in which the UW was left off the list because the editors felt it wasn't fair to compare amateurs to professionals.
Top Ten and Best of lists are always a consideration when choosing (or avoiding) certain destinations. But a new list has just been released, ranking the Drunkest Metros in America...a list that probably isn't a honor to which most would aspire.
I had a sneaking suspicion when I clicked on the story link earlier this week...that was quickly confirmed. While I learned to drink in College, I perfected the art while living in Kankakee IL, just south of Chicago. And those I left behind when I moved to Madison have apparently stepped up their game in my absence.
Yes...Metro Kankakee is apparently the drunkest place in Illinois (a distinction achieved without the benefit of being a college town).
I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
