Here’s a ‘SXSW In The News’ moment that we’re a little sheepish about sharing. According to this Forbes article, we have some connection to Austin’s status as the hardest-drinking city in America.

No offense to the fine people of Forbes, but have y’all been up to Waco? I swear that most Waco-ites are drunk by noon, and their Dr. Peppers are doctored with vodka. I think Austin is more tolerant of sobriety than most of the rest of Texas, at least. Forbes’ local expert is noted mixologist Hunter Darby, who dressed up as a nun for Spoon’s ‘Sister Jack’ video. We love Hunter, but we question Forbes’ research methods.
