Compared to states, the District ranks No. 2 for the percentage of adults who consume alcohol and No. 1 for the percentage of heavy drinkers, according to Detox.net, an online resource for alcohol abuse treatment programs.

According to the study, 65.9 percent of adults in D.C. have had at least one drink in the past month, second only to Wisconsin’s 67.3 percent. The study was based on data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which collects health-related data from phone interviews.

The study also says 11.1 percent of D.C. adults are what it labels heavy drinkers, consuming more than two drinks daily for men and more than one drink daily for women.

No doubt in my mind. The swamp is loaded with drunks, addicts, pot heads, pedophiles, sex perverts and so much more.

Guilt and shame. And fear. LOTS of fear.


Liquor won't open the trachea when the noose snaps it closed.

The elite act like they never this stuff coming.
Drunk most of the time probably doesn't help.
Keep cheering.
