Ten Drunkest Cities in Louisiana [VIDEO]
Folks here in Louisiana know how to do certain things very well. We have a very particular set of skills, you could say.
We keep a wardrobe for all four season ready and available at all times, just because it's 50 degrees and raining today doesn't mean it wont be 93 and sunny tomorrow. We know how to rip tails off of crawfish and just the head just right. We know how to love each other unconditionally. Our football teams know how to execute a fake field goal to perfection.
Most of all, we know how to drink alcohol. We train early, having milk chug sessions in school. No livers in the nation can hang with those of Louisianians. Which city is the drunkest though? Now we know the answer and number one is quite obvious.
Roadsnacks released an article detailing which cities can drink better than the rest, which you can read HERE.
