"Drunkest" metro-areas within the drunkest states.

you're so dumb. if it's by % of population what impact do you think having the largest % of students in the overall population is going to have on that result? I mean you yourself pointed out the % of residents enrolled in college in the Lansing-East Lansing area is double the national average. you just can't help yourself can you?

I did? I quoted the article. Hilarious that you call me dumb, and then credit me as saying something when all I did was take the excerpt from the article.

LOL

Your "sheer numbers based on total population" argument is baseless. Your "it's just cause those people are in college" argument is baseless. Why not just admit that a certain type of person that lives in Lansing/E. Lansing that likes to get drunk more? It's not even necessarily a bad thing. Instead you have to argue, argue, argue, even when you can't prove your point.

Besides, a quick search turns up that there is a larger % of the population in Mt. Pleasant that are students of CMU compared with the total population of the city than there is at MSU compared with the total population of Lansing/E. Lansing.

I would think the filthy corrupt politicians and the filthy corrupt lobbyists would lead to vice percentage increases in things like excessive drinking, not to mention solicitation of prostitutes and a whole myriad of bad behaviors in Lansing/E Lansing more than all the landscaping and pool cleaning majors at MSU.

Those are professions in which people need to get up early, and be fairly fresh on the job.

I guess Mt. Pleasant probably has a City Council and some corrupt and heinous influence peddlers, but common sense would indicate that it is virtually impossible that it would rise to the level of the vice that would go on at a state capitol, in a state that is - what - still in the top ten or twelve in population in the nation?

That's your argument? A pedantic parsing of words - you didn't actually point out the things you quoted to support your incredibly nonsensical point? Well, LOL at that. Yes, that's exactly what you did - by quoting the article, you were in fact pointing that out.

I don't have a "sheer numbers based on total population" argument. You obviously don't get what I've said if you think that's my point. You also don't understand simple mathematics. I've proved the point about of MSU being a much larger school and its impact on the outcome - and so did you with the quotes you posted - you just don't get that. As for my second point - that you're an idiot - you're proving that all by yourself every time you post.

And what do I have to admit? I'm not saying a lot of drinking does or doesn't go on in the Lansing-East Lansing metro area or that it's a good or bad thing nor am I arguing about anything - I'm just laughing at the stupid, illogical posts you're making. The only person that has to admit anything is you - just admit you're dumb and you don't understand basic math.

Divided by the population of the metro area. Maybe MSU is biggest relative to their metro, I don't know, maybe Western. But either way, I doubt OSU is the biggest university in Ohio relative to their metro population.

based on hungry's quote indicating the % of students enrolled in college in the Lansing/E Lansing area being 2x the national average, I'd bet it's got to be in the top 2 or 3, if you took out the dilution from Lansing, I'd be shocked if it wasn't #1.

Columbus has about 5.2x the population of Lansing & East Lansing. There's not doubt OSU has an impact but it's clearly not all due to the University. Nor is that the case in Lansing/E Lansing but it probably has a bigger impact there.

That's just a bunch of gobbledygook.

Good job

Then you basically admit that I'm right.

Thanks

No, all i'm doing there is referencing the data from your quote. In order to agree with you, I'd have to be an idiot. I'm not so I don't.

except we're exhausting the soil and burning more fossil fuels, so making the world uninhabitable by other means.

Go humans! We are the best.
