I was skimming through the older Denver post articles today when I found one of interest. To my surprise I found a surprise titled Denver's dubious award - drunkest city . Intrigued by this I opened up the article and found out that Denver was ranked the "most dangerously drunk city." In the U.S., Colorado springs coming in third and Aurora in nineteenth place!
I found out that an annual death rate In Denver is due to alcoholic liver disease, and an average Coloradoan regularly downs five or more drinks in a sitting!
This not only ruins the reputation Of Denver and the state of Colorado but definitely is a bad influence for younger more impressionable minds. Obviously if a young teenager sees people guzzling a 6 pack of Corona they might think it is okay for them to.
This affects the students in Colorado because many teens have been caught drinking and Driving and some have been killed in fatal accidents due to drunk drivers.
In all this definitely leaves an impressionable mark on Colorado and hopefully we can set up some laws to fix the mess we are in.
