America’s drunkest cities. I love this quote:
more than 70% of adult Milwaukeeans reported that they had had at least one alcoholic drink within the past 30 days–the highest percentage on our list. Twenty-two percent of Milwaukee respondents confessed to binge drinking, or having five or more drinks on one occasion–also the highest on our list.

A nice PR person sent me this link to the Bad Pitch Blog where PR people point out what not to do as well as what to do as a PR person.

One lucky helicopter pilot and passenger. Newschopper gets into difficulty and crashes in a dense residential area. Note to the UPS helicopter pilot who flew very close to my office yesterday: It’s not very bright to have your helicopter fly within ten feet of overhead powerlines. Cop the fuck on, you’re not in Airwolf.
Bernie the pilot says you cannot see most powerlines when airborne unless they come with approved orange aerodrome balls.
It casts the old country classic, What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me) in a new light. Moderate drinking, apparently is what made the city famous. How disappointing.
That would be shockingly Wild, party-style moderate drinking.
