I do know that the last time the Wisconsin Badgers football team got to play in the Rose Bowl game the entire city of Los Angeles ran out of beer completely from the Wisconsin fans being there.
There's probably some small towns that, as a percentage, consume far more than any city.
Just counting cities is not very fair.
I think the chart is constructed by per-capita consumption in metro areas, so some small towns may be included if they are within the county of the metro area they used for this study. If they started adding rural small towns to the list, the people that put it together would have a whole lot more work to do on making their list. So that's probably why they don't. People are lazy
The data is probably from self-selected polls anyhow, so who knows how accurate they are?
Any poll you get to decide to take or not is not an accurate poll.
Also, on the same subject, there are people who spend a lot of time learning how to phrase polls to get the result you want. This is especially true with polls like, "on a one to five" where 5 is dissatisfied 1 to 4 will count as 'somewhat satisfied' when they interpret the poll.
