Austin tops the list of America's hardest-drinking cities. That's according to Forbes magazine.
Forbes cites a study by the Centers for Disease Control that shows nearly two-thirds of Austinites have a least one drink per month.
About nine percent of men had more than two drinks per day -- for women, more than one drink.
And 20 percent of Austinites had five or more drinks on occasion.
Milwaukee came in second. San Francisco, Providence, Rhode Island and Chicago round out the top five.
