With new breweries popping up every other weekend and the fact we live in an area great with wine and hops, it's no wonder we have a lot to celebrate. For years, Longview, Washington was considered to be the drunkest city in Washington but according to new stats, a different town was just crowned the drunkest city in Washington.

According to 247wallst.com, Bellingham is now the drunkest city in Washington.

Each of Washington’s 11 metro areas has a higher excessive drinking rate than the country as a whole. In the Bellingham metro area, 21.8% of adults either binge or heavily drink, the largest share in the state.

While unhealthy levels of alcohol consumption are relatively common across Bellingham, other unhealthy habits are far less common. Only 13.6% of area adults smoke, and 16.3% do not get any exercise — far lower than both the comparable state and national rates.

Bellingham shows no sign of letting go of that crown, though I'm sure Longview will do what they can to take it back.
