Tennessee Teetotalers [Mixed Reviews]

Would you believe it if we told you that Tennessee ranks 100% last for alcohol consumption by binge drinkers? And that includes D.C. and the Virgin Islands! We also come in at 49th place for casual drinkers‘ alcohol consumption, and we’re #51 for heavy drinkers‘ alcohol consumption. We suppose that this is good news, but we can’t say we aren’t surprised. That must be why we didn’t make Forbes Magazine’s more recent study of America’s Hardest Drinking Cities. 

Also: Another study says we’re fat… We all love Vanderbilt… Less people are dying in the workplace than last year (but we’re still 10th highest for workplace fatalities)… Shelby County has the highest rate of infant mortality in the country.
