To quote bluesman Albert Collins “I ain’t drunk, I’m just drinking.”
Not exactly this is something to be proud of, but Men’s Health Magazine just ranked Madison as the 15th drunkest city in the nation.
Sure, Madisonians are known to have a drink, but calling us drunks is not cool. There is a clear distinction between having a drink and enjoying yourself and being a drunk. There is a clear line of sauced-ness distinction, although that line may get blurry at times.
To further prove our point, we asked several random people in downtown Madison (after bar time) for their opinion on the matter. Here’s that they said:
- “Whooo hoooo! Party!”
- “Ohhhh dude…I can see the music.”
- “The smoker you play, the drinker I get”
- ‘Kiss me I’m Irish, or drunk or something like that…”
- “Raaaaaaaalllllphhhhh!”
OK, that didn’t help much. Maybe we should just celebrate by watching the drunk convenience store guy again…
