Food... or drink... for thought

My new home, Putnam County, Ohio, has something of a reputation as a drinking county. As it turns out, it's well deserved. (See "Survey confirms county's alcohol concerns" in the Lima News.)

Basically, it says 27 percent of the adult population has had five or more drinks in its past 30 days, which the survey considered "binge drinking."

I seem to have a great deal of success finding places with the truly heavy drinkers. Athens, Ohio. Savannah, Ga. Ottawa, Ohio. Is it merely coincidence, or am I a closet party animal?

I'm voting for coincendence.
