Washington DC has been named one of the highest binge drinkers. The Center's fro Disease Control (CDC)'s Vital Sounds Report DC, along with the Midwest, New England, Alaska and Hawaii ranked the highest in binge drinkers.
Oh yes, for those of you who aren't surprised. DC residents regularly consume 6 drinks in a short time. Usually these fools are between the ages 18 and 34, the group that most frequently consists of age 65 and up. And dang, it costs a shit load to binge drink - those who drink the most (around 5 times a month) make less than $25K a year, but in 2006 binge drinking cost each person $746, and the economy on a while $223.5B - now is this helping the economy or hurting??
