Forbes surveys the drinking habits of metropolitan areas across the country.

"It will come as no surprise that the residents of a city known as "The Nation's Watering Hole" like to have a beer or two. But Milwaukee isn't just your average brewing town. It's the hardest-drinking city in America, according to Forbes.com's ranking of America's Drunkest Cities."

The magazine looked at state laws, number of drinkers, number of heavy drinkers, number of binge drinkers and alcoholism to determine their rankings.

Other cities in the top ten include Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN, Columbus, OH, Boston, MA, and Austin, TX.
