And The Biggest Binge-Drinkers In America Are...
"Responsibly," Bloomberg surveyed adults aged 26 and older across America and found that almost one-third of D.C. residents report binge-drinking in the last month. Utah, perhaps unsurprisingly, had the lowest binge-drinking percentage at a mere 15% (defined as five or more drinks in one day).
The results were from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, an Agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They were based on data collected in 2011 and 2012 from approximately 67,500 individuals. Binge alcohol use is defined as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least one day in the past 30 days.

MOAR WILD TURKEY!!!!
MAD DOG 20/20 FTW.....BITCHEZ !!!!
Just threw up in my mouth.
Then wash that puke out with some Smoker's Phlegm
1 oz. Jagermeister
1 tbs. Mayonnaise floating in the shot
Knock it back and you'll be right as rain !
damn .. be sure to make mine chilled.
When they talk about more transparency in Washington I think they are referring to vodka and Everclear.
Hopium is clear and grown by CIA approved farmers in the hills of Afghanistan, using green technologies. Changium, on the other hand,....
B. U. R. P.
DC claims the title for drunk and stupid.
from the list it looks like binge drinking is some kind of a Yankee thing.
how you young people drink Jager is totally beyond me. that is the god-awfulest s*** on planet Earth.
Dude.....that's what the MAYONNAISE is for !
LOL !!!
DC, it is said by those in the recovery business, is estimated to have the highest percentage of the population of any major metropolitan area who are alcoholics.
That's grand news.
Isn't it?

xoxoxoxoxox, tyler
The numbers don't tell the whole story. For example, in Texas binge drinking means a half liter bottle of Tequila followed by a six pack of Southern Star. All in 9 minutes. In Iowa, binge drinking means a jigger of rye in your cup of tea before bed.
Exactly! Hell, some of our Baptist friends would say I'm a binge drinker if they see me buy a six pack of beer. I can easily finish that in a night.

Amateurs. I do twyst more'n that every night.

Bashir said that if the U.S. takes the lead, coordinates all the lethal aid between countries helping Syria, and puts it under the umbrella of the Supreme Military Council, that could give the U.S. government more confidence that any weapons provided to the rebels would be handled responsibly. The council has agreed to establish two central coordination units inside Syria, one in the south and one in the north, Bashir said, but it does not yet have control over the arms flows.
...
Where have we heard this basic story before...
SMC, ECB, IMF it is all the same shit just different iterations of.
Lots of celebrating all the looting of others earnings to do there.
SWEET BABY JESUS!!

Hair of the dog: A tumbler full of warm drugstore gin, with a pat of butter floating on it. Garnish with a pubic hair.
In spite of the name...
I hope its NOT the dog's pubic hair.
GAWD !!! ROTFLMAO !!!! REALLY ??
Ripple, thank you
5 beers/day is binge drinking? One time in 1 week?
WTF?
I mean, 12-24/day is binge drinking.
I should know.
I think these surveys are too conservative.
Maybe it's the Methodist Temperance League that does the surveys.
Way too conservative. WTF is 5 drinks??? (Pre-dinner?)
Half a liter please
they make half liter Mason jars?
Yeah, the "G" men, "T" men, the revenuers, too

Is your name Alice Cooper?
Looks like I need to make a liquor store run.
5 lousy drinks constitute binge drinking?
Geez, that’s not even an aperitif in most of the places I’ve been.

Please drop off some Yuengling lager here on your way back.
Thanks.
They don't carry it here in this bass ackwards state.
I did get a fifth of Old Crow Bourbon, aged for 3 years in White Oak barrels. $7.79. Maybe I need to buy more expensive stuff to bump my state up? Nah!
Ah...the Mighty Oak.
No way NM should be that low on the list!
North Dakota is drunkest Dakota. Barely.
I spent a winter up there once. All I remember is the fucking cold and the snow. The rest is a drunken blur.
WTF else is there to do during that time of year?
Stock up your fire is all you can do, I do not think they hve ice fishing.
Make more North Dakotans.
Put the neighbors through a wood chipper.
Along the same lines, why is Alaska in the middle? Should be up near the top. Did they query Native peoples? I don't think so.
So, you could DUI in S Dakota, drive over to N Dakota, and escape detention.
duped. There is something wrong with this keyboard.
You stupid double posting moron.
You stupid double posting moron.
I'll drink to that.
Here's to Mag, that filthy hag,
That sleazy, slimy slut.
Green fungus lies between her thighs,
And worms crawl out her butt.
Before I'd scale those scabby legs,
Or suck those pus-filled tits,
I'd drink a gallon of buzzard puke,
And die of the drizzly shits.

Jager!
Back in the day it was Goldschlager, Bit-Chez!
I must be holding over 100 troy in my liver!
I never drank binge.
Sounds a bit tart to me.
quietly sips 5th Glenlivit......

It's similar to swish, with a bit of an emetic aftertaste.
Surprised to see Maine so low on the list. On the other hand, if it never stops, I guess you can't call it a binge.
My brother drinks 10 beers/day, but over 18 hours, so that is not considered binge, is it?
Guilt?
I can't believe that the HIGHEST binge drinking count (and by such tepid, teatotalling standards to boot) is only 33%.
Fuckers are all partying their asses off on $10,000 bottles of wine as they continue to pillage what's left of this country.
I bought a $10 bottle and I am going to drink it tonight because this market has made me cry uncle and that is how I handle things.
I bought a $10 bottle and I am going to drink it tonight...
I bought a $10 5L box and I am going to drink it tonight...
All fixed.
I don't usually drink $10 5L box wine, but when I do, I am crying like a pussy. Stay shattered my friends.
Now that's funny
when I do, I am crying like a pussy. Stay shattered my friends...
I prefer the Oracle's advice, "Here, take a cookie. I promise, by the time you're done eating it, you'll feel right as rain."
But, maybe not.
jmo.
You're getting all high falutin on me Fonz. I'll be drinking a $6 bottle. It was $5 but thanks to that inflation that doesn't exist, since wine is both food and energy, it's moar expensive. So if I drink a bottle of wine and piss it out later is that deflationary?
If you drink it and then go piss on a homeless guy's head that homeless guy would actually be a great example of how QE has benefitted the middle class.
Lol.... Btw it looks like resurger just got 86d by one of the Tylers.
really? what for? By the time we get dow 20k we will all have gone nuts on here and been booted.
Trickle down. Plus, the Broken Windows Theory says that by pissing on that homeless guy, you are creating demand (for doing a load of laundry at the laundromat), and that's good for the economy. Piss on enough homeless people and we will get that economic recovery afte rall. Yes we can.
burp
In DC alcohol acts as a subconscious distraction for the lackey graduated class from the shame of selling their souls to a criminal cleptocrytpy satanic oligarchy
Sorry, I mean Kleptocratic as in Kleptocracy...Hiccup!
C'mon, it's stressful living your life as a backstabbing snake among backstabbing snakes. Cynicism is toxic.
That animal farm is really a reptile farm or snake farm specifically. Ickes got it wrong the reptilians are really serpents or snake people and everyone else is snake food who isn't one not including smaller snakes.
The Bible (as well as other older religious texts) and ancient artifacts/arts depict the reptiles and snakes as literally one and the same.
Now, if we were sitting around on our asses all day jawing about ZH like crap back oh say, 6,000 BC watching the pyramids being built by these scaly fuckers with flying machines, we'd probably be wondering about snakes and lizards, too, when we tried to explain this to our kids or drew pictures of them.
I mean, if that kinda shit was taking place we'd be nonplussed about somebody's missing birth certificate, wouldn't we?
I meant metaphorically speaking though I wouldn't rule out that possibility either. Most everything I was told to believe blindly and when asked told to shut up and stop being a wiseass has slowly over time been proven to be a deception if not outright lie.
I know enough to know just how little I do know in a lot of cases but systems tend have very simple repeatable rules/truths that iterate constantly throughout no matter how complex the iterations get and aliens helping along the evolution process genetically certainly is possible.
My father is/was fascinated with the author Erich von Däniken. I used to look at the photos in all those von Däniken books as a kid and think crickey...lizard spacemen. Then, I sort of grew up accepting the distinct possibility of lizard spacemen. The evidence is strong.
It's a lot easier to accept extra terrestrials if you are prepared for them, whether real or fabricated by gov ops.
If you're not perpared, you won't be able to think straight if confronted with a new paradigm. If you're used to the concept, you can use your brainpower to plan instinctively what to do, instead of working out how to fight or flight or freeze or calculate how those Nazi flying spinning rotation devices work :)
Lizard people = Bernanke & Yellen.
Being hammered on the job as an elected official is par for the course.
five or more in one day.......
is just getting started!
Five "drinks"? What the hell kind of unit of measurement is that?
Fuck you'd have to be a binge drinker to live around those fucking clowns although i'm sure there's plenty of biden-types in those figures.
Actually i'm trying to think of the republican house leader not biden can't recall his name all I can visualize are his narrow glazed over eyes. Fuck 'em all. I got one name for all of them so it doesn't really matter.
I'd consider binge to be from Tuesday afternoon to Monday evening.
Weekend drinkers are sissies.
I live in DC, work non gov related. This is B.S. I don't see this AT ALL!! Coke YES!! Drinking NO!!
"almost one-third of D.C. residents report binge-drinking in the last month"...
Can we have the largest ever "#" of car fatalities in Washington D.C. to go with that ranking for "binge-drinking"?
Someone come up with a plan lickety-split to kill off all the DOS/CIA/FBI/NSA, Congress and their aids and lobbysists with drunk drivers!
No time like the present!!!
Somewhere in the world, its 5:00 PM
"...defined as five or more drinks in one day..."
Sounds like Romney's crew came up with that absurdly low level....5 or more quarts of Everclear in 1 week would be more like it.
Having been born, raised, and started my drinking in D.C. I will say that it appears nothing has changed in 60 years......everyone (and I mean everyone) drank a lot.
.....and they have Alaska about in the middle of the chart?????
The only place I saw more drinking than D.C. was the summer spent working in Alaska....those folks were pro's
Finally - a reasonable answer to explain government statistics - and why the Fed keeps doing QE...
22 years in Salt Lake City, I would say it is more than 15%, they just will never admit it.
I don't binge, I'm full time.
Being from Boston, and Irish, binge drinking is mainly a 8 year old and younger problem. After 8 we dont stop drinking.. Since there is no no-binge part, hence low binge rates.

Time to hit the fridge again.
In 2009 my son and I were on a road trip fom California, where we live, to relatives all over the USSA and when we were driving from NC to NJ, having to go through DC, OMG, I saw more obviously drunk driving in DC than in any other major metro area I've been through and I'm a world traveler! Really, I've never been so frightened in my life, driving through Washington DC at about 9:30 PM. Five years later, we still muse on this, my son and I. It was the most harrowing, white knuckled drive I've experienced. All around us people were making moving violations I didn't even know were physically possible. We both wondered - where the fucking highway patrol was and did they know what the fuck was going on out on their highways? Well, apparently they do know and that's probably why we saw no highway patrol; they're just as fucking scared out there as we were. It's tough when there's NO safe lane anywhere because every single fucking lane had at least one majorly drunk fucker at the wheel. Since that road trip through hell my son and I got to see at least part of the reason that people inside the beltway are so out of touch with the rest of the country. THEY'RE ALL FUCKIN' ALKIES AND THEY'RE DRIVING DRUNK EVERY NIGHT!! It was indeed a weeknight (work the next day) so we can use our imaginations as to what the weekend driving conditions must be.
Official DC congresscriter comment...
Burp!
None of the Q99X2 drink alcohol. We have a problem with spontaneous combustion.
West Virginia is so low? I guess meth was not part of the survey.
