Virginia's drunkest metro area

24/7 Wall Street has revealed its list of locations in each state where adults drink excessively. In Virginia, the metro area of Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford has the highest rate of those 18 and older admitting to overindulging.

Does college life play a role?

Part of the reason could be that many young people are attending Virginia Tech, New River Community College, and Radford University.

Virginia's drunkest county

The drunkest Virginia County is Arlington, an affluent part of Northern Virginia that houses the US Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetary. 22.2% of adults in Arlington admit to excessive drinking, and the county ranks number 186 out of 3,182 counties in the US where drinking is an issue.
