Nebraska is home to four of the top 20 U.S. cities with the highest rates of binge-drinking

From Business Insider:

The Center for Disease Control defines binge drinking as having five or more drinks in one sitting for men, and four or more drinks in one sitting for women.

Kapa’a, HI had the highest percentage of binge drinkers, with 23 percent saying they had participated in binge drinking in 2010, the most recent year for which CDC statistics are available.

Of the top 20 U.S. cities with the highest rates of binge drinking in 2010, four were in Nebraska:

• LINCOLN: 22.7 percent
• NORFOLK: 20.2 percent
• OMAHA: 19.5 percent
• GRAND ISLAND: 19.4 percent of people admitted to binge drinking

Early last year, NET News produced a documentary, aptly named “Binge,” that looked at the problem of binge drinking in Nebraska: “Hear from law enforcement, university officials and bar owners trying to change lives before it’s too late.”

Watch the documentary here.

I would have to have about 35 drinks per day so as to forget that I’m living in Nebraska.
