For anyone interested in a ranking of alcohol consumption (past 30 days) by DMA in the United States, here is a list of the top 75 markets arranged by %-boozing. This list includes beer, malt liquor, and liquor; no wine.
Good to see 3 Upstate NY cities rounding out the top 9. Most of you aren\'t too far behind at 13. I have a feeling Block Island will be introduced to this list in the coming weeks.
