Just saw the stats from Columbus and we are worse. :redface:

In fact, as worst cities in states go, those numbers don't look too terrible. Still, I wouldn't want to raise a family in any of the cities listed with all of the drunken driving fatalities.

Put yourself in their shoes. You'd binge drink too if you realized that:

1. You live in Lee County and you're not sure if that's in Alabama or Georgia.
2. Directions to your house involve the phrase "drive south until you smell it and east until you step in it."
3. Every time you have a family reunion, you see 2 of your ex-wives.
4. Your favorite team has an all time losing record against VANDERBILT.
5. Season tickets in Jordan-Hare give you the privilege of watching the same offense that you saw in the 2A state playoffs.
6. The phrase "double wide" applies to every house you've ever lived in and every girlfriend/wife you've ever had.
7. You'll just be glad when swimming and diving season gets here.
