The citizens of Washoe County can finally be proud! Too much time languishing on the bottom of national lists for things like education, healthcare and voter turnout has compelled Washoe to dig deep and soar to the top at one activity the county is capable of doing well. In January, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked Washoe County as having the highest rate of heavy drinkers in the nation, with a score of 9.4 percent.
As a side benefit...maybe all the drinking will help propel NV back to the top of the teen pregnancy charts as well!
