Denver Post columnist Bill Husted:
Jay Leno took notice last week of Denver being named America's Drunkest City by Men's Health magazine. In a skit, he interviewed William J. Fredricks, Under Assistant Lieutenant Secretary of Denver, played by a very drunk Fred Willard, gulping a martini. A taste:
"It's been reported that Denver is the drunkest city in the United States," said Leno.
"That's true, Jay," slurred Willard, spilling his drink. "The numbers, just like the people of Denver, are staggering."
"Are you doing anything to help your city stop drinking," asked Leno.
"Yes," said Willard. "I just discussed this very problem with our Republican candidate for Senate, Pete Coors. He assured me everything was fine. His slogan is 'Four More Beers! Four more beers!"'
Like that's a bad thing.
Oh, man I wish I'd seen that!
Well, ok, so long as they aren't Coors.
Men's Health is full of it. Denver is drunker than New Orleans? I don't think so. Their reason for saying so is that Denver has more DUI arrests than New Orleans. But all that proves is that New Orleans isn't having the same DUI crackdown that we are having here.
