"One of the lads was five minutes late for training. When I asked him why, he said: 'Because my roof caved in during the night'."

That was the reality for the coach of the national rugby team on the British Virgin Islands (BVI), which were hit by two category five hurricanes in September.

The small British overseas territory in the Caribbean was devastated by first Hurricane Irma and then Maria as 200mph winds flattened entire neighbourhoods.

Sports facilities and schools were destroyed, and four people were killed by Irma, including athletics coach Xavier 'Dag' Samuels.

The death of Samuels and the destruction of the islands' athletics track, forced BVI's top athlete Kyron McMaster - the world leading 400m hurdler - to leave for the United States.

Despite the huge setbacks, the national rugby team are preparing for a sevens tournament in Mexico this weekend, while at least two medals are being targeted at next year's Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia.

"Winning a medal would be priceless," National Olympic Committee president Ephraim Penn said.

"It will show that out of all this misery, our athletes still rise up and show BVI pride and represent the country in a positive light on the international scene."

Hurdler McMaster, 20, told BBC Sport: "I am doing this for them [BVI people], they are waiting to hear some good news.

"It's been a while since someone got some good news down there."

British Virgin Islands - profile

'They've lost everything, but still turn up for training'

Englishman James Vaughan-Turner only arrived in the BVI as their rugby head coach three weeks before Irma hit and said the main island Tortola looked like a "Hollywood movie" afterwards.

Remarkably, though, the 23-year-old's team are back in training for the Rugby Americas North sevens tournament in Mexico, which starts on Saturday.

Early sessions were interrupted by British army helicopters landing on the pitch, while players helped clear debris from the surface to make it usable again.

"It is jaw-dropping what has happened; there is carnage everywhere," Vaughan-Turner said.

"The buildings have collapsed but we still manage to play rugby, that shows the character of the team.

"Most of my players lost everything - their houses, all their clothes, their kit," he added.

"I have players turning up for an international tournament just in sandals and socks because they haven't got any boots.

"Some have lost family and friends, and I think rugby is helping them with the process of grieving.

"It shows what kind of players I have - they have lost everything, yet they still turn up for training every day. They want to represent their country and make their country proud."

Vaughan-Turner is optimistic of their chances in Mexico - saying they are "going there to win" - but says just getting a team to the tournament will be a proud moment for the BVI.

'Everything just sank in me, I fell and started to cry'

McMaster has run the fastest 400m hurdles time in the world this year, winning the Zurich Diamond League a few weeks after being disqualified in August's World Athletics Championships in London, where he was among the favourites.

His home avoided significant damage from Irma, but he said that seeing the devastation around him made him want to cry.

"It was breathtaking," he said. "We see everything, roofs gone, cars inside of houses, it was crazy, something like you see on TV from the Vietnam war."

The day after the hurricane, he was told that Samuels, his coach of eight years and a man he describes as a "father figure" and "best friend", had been killed.

The loss forced him to relocate with his new coach Lennox Graham to Clemson in South Carolina, even though he was prepared to stay and train in the "totally decimated" athletics facilities.

"I was speechless," said McMaster of a man who was also chef de mission for BVI at international games.

"Everything just sank in me, I fell to the ground and started to cry."

McMaster, who was pallbearer at Samuels' funeral added: "If coach had not died, I would not have moved. BVI is where my heart is and I miss it it every day.

"Being home in BVI is my comfort zone, so right now I am out of my comfort zone.

"Coach always told me, no matter what happens, he does not want us to cry or sob over him. All I can do now is make BVI proud, if he is watching from above then also to make him proud."

McMaster is part of a predicted 10-strong team for the Commonwealth Games in April, and is being tipped to win a medal in Brisbane - as is 25-year-old long jumper Chantel Malone.

National Olympic Committee president Penn, 59, said the athletes could be "shining lights" for the BVI and could show "sport is a unifying and positive factor" in the territory's recovery.

"We are down but we are not out, we are coming back in all ways," Penn said. "It has not been easy, but we have survived, that is the key word."

'A huge setback'

Andy Bickerton, originally from Bournemouth, is the president of the BVI Football Association and has both played for and managed the national team during his 35 years on the territory.

He said the FA is now "operating out of a shipping container" and has been "set back 10 to 15 years" after its headquarters were destroyed, while he has also suffered great personal damage.

"By the end of the hurricane, I didn't have a home anymore," he said.

"It was incredibly traumatic. All you care about is personal safety and keeping your loved ones safe."

Hurricane Irma also partially destroyed a new Fifa-funded artificial pitch in Tortola, on which the national team - ranked 205th in the world - were scheduled to play in Concacaf's League of Nations in September 2018.

"It will be difficult as the players are scattered all over, in the USA, the UK and other islands," Bickerton said. "But we will definitely enter the tournament. It has to be a major step for us in trying to recover.

"Football has been devastated here, but it will not stop us."

'The focus is not just on elite athletes'

Bickerton said 50% of primary schools are not available for use, while the main high school on Tortola is also unusable after being badly damaged, adding that children are "working out of a hardware store".

The BVI FA has made the artificial pitch available for use to "raise morale" and it has restarted the afterschool program for youngsters remaining on the island.

"It is a good release for them," he said. "A step towards normality, it is an important step for the island to see sport is available."

Vaughan-Turner has been running rugby coaching lessons in the schools as he says most of the physical education teachers have left the islands.

"It is not just a focus on elite athletes, but the general population" Penn said. "To make sure they do not succumb to being inactive and make bad matters worse.

"To be just focusing every day on the devastation and the misery of the aftermath can be very depressing.

"We see sport in different communities and in schools can play a major role in taking their minds off this misery and be a positive thing for kids, young and old to look forward to."

A father-of-two, who recorded thousands of people using public toilets at Parramatta and North Sydney, has been jailed for six months.

Ben Moorhouse's offences were described by Magistrate Mark Richardson as "reprehensible". He had a penchant for cameras invading the victims' privacy in the most vulgar way.

The 40-year-old installed hidden cameras in the toilets at North Sydney and Parramatta train stations as well as a disabled bathroom at Westfield Parramatta, in February and March this year.

More than 200 people were filmed, including children.

The magistrate said Moorhouse "engaged in a planned and systematic way bugging public utilities for sexual gratification".

"People who engage in this conduct will go to jail," he said.

Moorhouse's lawyer Osman Samin said the court "favoured punishment and denunciation as opposed to promoting the continuing rehabilitation".

Despite being deemed suitable for home detention he was sentenced to more than six months' jail.

Moorhouse made an application for bail ahead of an appeal against the severity of his sentence, which was rejected by a completely different magistrate.

She said it's highly likely he'll be unsuccessful and there's a real concern he won't show up to court.

He's facing the real possibility he may not be home with her and the kids for Christmas if his appeal fails on December 11.

Excessive drinking claims the lives of tens of thousands of Americans each year and is responsible for about 1 in every 10 deaths among working-age adults. Alcohol abuse also takes a heavy economic toll.

A recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that excessive alcohol consumption cost the U.S. economy an estimated $250 billion in 2010 - primarily in lost productivity, medical bills, and motor vehicle accidents.

Excessive alcohol consumption, according to the CDC, includes binge drinking - defined as four or more drinks in a single occasion for women and five or more for men - and heavy drinking, which is defined as at least eight drinks per week for women and 15 for men.

An estimated 18% of American adults drink excessively. However, binge and heavy drinking rates are not uniform across the country and can vary greatly from state to state and city to city. Across U.S. metro areas, excessive drinking rates range from fewer than 1 in every 10 adults to more than 1 in every 4 adults.

24/7 Wall St. reviewed data from the CDC to identify the metropolitan areas reporting the highest levels of binge and heavy drinking in each state.

Alabama

Excessive drinking is more common in the Auburn-Opelika area than in any other metro area in Alabama. An estimated 15.9% of area adults are either heavy or binge drinkers, a larger share than the 13.0% of adults across the state.

Despite ranking as the heaviest drinking metro area in the state, adults in Auburn-Opelika are less likely to drink excessively than the typical American adult. Nationwide, an estimated 18.0% of adults drink excessively.

Alaska

Of the two metropolitan areas in Alaska - Fairbanks and Anchorage - Fairbanks has the largest share of adults who report excessive drinking. Some 22.7% of Fairbanks adults binge or drink heavily, the largest share in Alaska and one of the largest shares of any U.S. metro area.

While a smaller share of Anchorage adults drink to excess, the metro area's drinking rate is still relatively high. Some 22.2% of Anchorage adults drink heavily or binge drink, a larger share than the drunkest city in 39 states. Across the state, 22.1% of Alaskans drink heavily or binge drink, the third largest excessive drinking rate among states.

Arizona

Of the seven metro areas in Arizona, Flagstaff is home to the largest share of adults who drink to excess. Some 19.4% of adults in the Flagstaff metro area are either heavy or binge drinkers. In comparison, only 16.0% of adults statewide and 18.0% of American adults over-consume alcohol.

Heavier drinking areas tend to be better educated, and Flagstaff is no exception. Some 35.4% of adults in the metro area have earned a bachelor's degree. Across Arizona, only 28.9% of adults have a four-year college education.

Arkansas

Excessive drinking includes binge and heavy drinking. In Arkansas, 15.3% of adults report excessive drinking, less than the 18.0% share of adults nationwide and the ninth smallest share of any state. In the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers metro area, located in the northwest part of the state, some 15.6% of adults report excessive drinking, the highest share in Arkansas yet less than in most U.S. metro areas.

Wealthier individuals are more likely to drink excessively, and the typical household in Fayetteville earns $51,848 a year, the highest median household income of any Arkansas metro area.

California

Nearly 21% of adults in Chico regularly drink alcohol to excess, a larger share than in any of California's 25 other metro areas and far more than the statewide excessive drinking rate of 18.0%.

Drinking too much can have serious health consequences, and by some measures, Chico's population is less healthy than the state as a whole. Across California, adults report an average of 3.6 mentally unhealthy days and 3.6 physically unhealthy days per month. In Chico, adults report an average of 4.1 mentally unhealthy days and 4.3 physically unhealthy days each month.

Colorado

Home to Colorado State University, Fort Collins is a midsize college city located along the Cache La Poudre River in Colorado's Front Range. College students drink more than nearly any other group. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, nearly 3 in 5 U.S. college students aged 18 to 22 drink alcohol. In the Fort Collins metro area, some 11.6% of the population are enrolled in college or graduate school - nearly the largest share in Colorado - and 21.0% of adults drink to excess or binge drink, the largest share in the state.

Connecticut

Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk is the only metro area in Connecticut in which more than 1 in every 5 adults drinks excessively. Excessive drinking in a community does not necessarily increase the likelihood of drunk driving, but high alcohol consumption may partially explain such risky behavior in the Bridgeport area. Some 34.6% of roadway fatalities in the metro area involve alcohol, higher than both the state and national rates.

Delaware

While Dover is the only metro area in Delaware and by default has the largest share of adults who drink excessively, the city actually has one of the lowest excessive drinking rates in the country. Just 15.4% of adults in Dover binge or drink heavily, lower than both the national rate of 18.0% and even the state rate of 16.6%.

Better educated populations also often also have higher excessive drinking rates. In Dover, just 22.6% of adults have a bachelor's degree, less than the 31.0% state and 31.3% national rates.

Florida

Across Florida, only 17.4% of adults drink excessively, a smaller share than the 18.0% of adults nationwide. However, not all parts of the state report lower than typical excessive drinking rates. In Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, some 20.8% of adult residents drink excessively, the largest such share of any metro area in the Sunshine State.

In addition to having the state's highest excessive drinking rate, the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin metro area also has the state's highest alcohol-related roadway fatalities rate. Some 39.4% of driving deaths in the metro area involve alcohol. To compare, 28.2% of roadway fatalities statewide and 30.0% nationwide are alcohol-related.

Georgia

The Athens-Clarke County metro area is home to the University of Georgia, the largest college or university in the state. College students are much more likely to participate in activities involving alcohol. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, close to 3 in 5 college students between the ages of 18 and 22 drink alcohol on at least one occasion per month. In the Athens metro area, 16.3% of residents are enrolled in college or graduate school - the largest share in the state - and 17.5% of adults binge or drink heavily, also the largest share in the state.

Hawaii

Nearly 22% of adults in Kahului-Wailuku-Lahaina either binge or heavily drink, a larger share than both the statewide and nationwide excessive drinking rates. Driving deaths that involve alcohol are often more common in areas with heavy drinking populations, and the Kahului-Wailuku-Lahaina is no exception. The metro area is one of only five nationwide in which over half of all roadway fatalities involve alcohol.

Idaho

An estimated, 15.4% of Idahoans drink excessively, the 10th smallest share of any state. While in the wettest metro area in the state - Coeur d'Alene - the excessive drinking rate is 17.9%, it is still lower than the national rate of 18.0% and less than close to half that of all U.S. cities.

While the typical Coeur d'Alene adult is less likely to binge or heavily drink than the typical American adult, motorists in the metro area may be more likely to be involved in a fatal alcohol-related accident. Alcohol is involved in an estimated 38.3% of all fatal car crashes in Coeur d'Alene, far more than the 30.0% national figure.

Illinois

With a 21.5% excessive drinking rate, Bloomington is the heaviest drinking metro area in Illinois. Unhealthy alcohol consumption is more common among better-educated populations, and Bloomington is home to a relatively large share of adults with a bachelor's degree. Some 42.4% of adults in Bloomington have a four-year college degree, compared to the statewide college attainment rate of 34.0% and the nationwide rate of 31.3%.

Indiana

Colleges students are more likely to drink heavily than nearly any other group. The Bloomington metro area is the home of Indiana University, one of the largest universities in the United States. Nearly 1-in-4 metro area residents are enrolled in college or graduate school, the third-highest share in the country, and 19.7% of residents over the age of 18 drink excessively, the largest share of any Indiana metro.

College graduates are also more likely to drink than the average American. Some 38.9% of Bloomington adults have a bachelor's degree, also the largest share in the state.

Iowa

Iowa City is the heaviest drinking metro area in a relatively heavy drinking state. Across Iowa, 21.0% of adults drink excessively, a larger share than in all but six other states and well above the U.S. excessive drinking rate of 18.0%. Meanwhile, Iowa City is one of only 13 metro areas nationwide in which more than 23% of adults either binge drink or drink excessively. Like many of the heaviest drinking metro areas, Iowa City is in the Midwest.

Kansas

College students are more likely to drink, and to drink heavily, than the average American. According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc., about half of all college students who consume alcohol do so through binge drinking. In Lawrence, home to the University of Kansas - the largest university in the state - an estimated 21.7% of the population is enrolled in college or graduate school, the largest such share in Kansas. Meanwhile, 22.2% of adults drink excessively, also the largest share in the state. College graduates are also more likely to drink heavily than most Americans. An estimated 52.0% of adults in Lawrence have a bachelor's degree, the largest share in Kansas and the fifth largest share nationwide.

Kentucky

Only about 16.3% of adults in Kentucky drink excessively, a smaller share than the 18.0% of American adults. Even in Louisville, the heaviest drinking metro area in the state, adults are less likely than the typical American adult to consume unhealthy amounts of alcohol.

Alcohol consumption is only one behavioral factor that can affect health, and Louisville residents are more likely to smoke and less likely to be physically active than the typical American. Partially as a result, and despite a lower excessive drinking rate, adults in Louisville are less likely to report being in good or excellent health than the typical American adult.

Louisiana

Some 20.7% of adults in the Houma-Thibodaux metro area drinks excessively, the largest share in Louisiana and one of the largest shares of any U.S. metro. While college graduates are more likely to drink heavily than those without a degree, just 16.1% of Houma-Thibodaux adults have a bachelor's degree, close to half the 31.3% national rate and nearly the smallest share of any city.

Maine

Of the three metropolitan areas in Maine, Portland-South Portland has the highest excessive drinking rate at 20.6%. Excessive drinking tends to be more common in more affluent areas, and Portland is also the highest earning metro area in the state. The typical Portland household earns $63,422 a year, over $14,000 more than the next highest earning metro area in the state.

As is often the case in heavy drinking areas, a large share of roadway fatalities involves alcohol in Portland. Alcohol is involved in 43.1% of driving deaths in the metro area compared to 39.8% of driving deaths statewide and 30.0% nationwide.

Maryland

Alcohol is expensive and wealthy individuals are more likely to be able to afford alcohol on a regular basis and are also more likely to participate in activities where alcohol is present. The California-Lexington Park metro area, where the typical household earns approximately $21,000 more than the U.S. median household income, is the wealthiest in Maryland and one of the wealthiest in the country. Some 18.8% of adults in the city drink heavily or binge drink, more than in any other metro area in Maryland.

Excessive drinking habits may have adverse health outcomes for residents of California-Lexington Park. An estimated 10 out of every 100,000 metro area residents die from alcohol-induced causes annually, double the state alcohol-related mortality rate.

Massachusetts

Binge and heavy drinking are never healthy behaviors. Still, 21.0% of adults in the Barnstable Town metro area drink excessively, a larger share than in any other metro area in Massachusetts.

In other key measures, however, adults in Barnstable Town are relatively healthy. Of the five metro areas in Massachusetts, Barnstable Town has the lowest smoking rate, the lowest obesity rate, and the largest share of adults who are regularly physically active.

Michigan

According to a nationwide survey by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse, nearly 3-in-5 college students aged 18 to 22 drink alcohol on a monthly basis. In the Lansing-East Lansing metro area - home to Michigan State University, the largest school in Michigan and the ninth largest in the country - some 14.2% of residents are enrolled in college, more than double the 7.0% share nationwide. An estimated 21.9% of adults in the Lansing-East Lansing metro area drink excessively, more than the comparable 20.0% statewide share and more than any other metro in Michigan.

Minnesota

Nearly 24% of adults in the Mankato-North Mankato drink excessively, the largest share of any of any of Minnesota's five metro areas. Despite ranking as the state's heaviest drinking metro area, driving deaths attributable to alcohol are relatively uncommon. Only 18% of all roadway fatalities in the metro area involve alcohol, the smallest share of any metro area in Minnesota and well below the comparable 30.9% statewide share.

Mississippi

Some 13.3% of Mississippi adults drink excessively, the fifth smallest share of any state. While the 14.0% excessive drinking rate in the Gulfport-Biloxi-Pascagoula metro area is the highest of any metro in the state, it is far below the 18.0% national excessive drinking rate and among the lowest of any city nationwide.

Alcohol is expensive - prohibitively so for many lower-income individuals. In Gulfport, the typical household earns just $46,434 a year, far below the national median household income of $57,617.

Missouri

Columbia is the only metro area in Missouri in which more than 1 in every 5 adults drink excessively. Alcohol consumption is only one lifestyle factor that can impact health, however, and by other measures, Columbia residents are relatively healthy. For example, adults in Columbia are more likely to lead physically active lives than those in any other metro area in the state. Additionally, only 28.4% of metro area adults are obese, the smallest share in Missouri and well below the 30.8% statewide obesity rate.

Montana

Some 21.8% of adults in Montana drink excessively, the fourth largest share of any state. Even more adults drink heavily or binge drink in Missoula, where the excessive drinking rate is 24.3%.

Excessive drinking is never healthy, and Missoula residents are more likely to die from alcohol-related causes than the average American. Approximately 14 in every 100,000 residents in Missoula die from alcohol-induced causes annually, compared to 10 in every 100,000 Americans nationwide.

Nebraska

Lincoln's excessive drinking rate of 22.7% is the highest among Nebraska's three metro areas and higher than the vast majority of metro areas nationwide. Binge drinking is relatively commonplace on college campuses, and a large college population may partially explain Lincoln's high excessive drinking rate, which includes binge drinking. Home to the University of Nebraska, Lincoln's population is 12.0% college and graduate students, by far the largest such share of any metro area in the state.

Nevada

While as a state Nevada is fairly dry - just 15.8% of adults drink excessively, compared to 18.0% of adults nationwide - Reno is one of the heaviest drinking cities in the country. Some 21.3% of adults in Reno binge or drink heavily, a larger share than in nearly 90% of all U.S. metropolitan areas.

Increased alcohol consumption may have adverse health outcomes for many Reno residents. In 2015, approximately 18 in every 100,000 Reno residents died from causes related to alcohol, far more than the national rate of 10 alcohol-related deaths per 100,000 Americans.

New Hampshire

The only metro area in New Hampshire, Manchester-Nashua, is the heaviest drinking area by default. Still, the metro area's excessive drinking rate of 19.7% tops both the statewide excessive drinking rate of 18.4% and the U.S. rate of 18.0%.

Excessive drinking is more common among well-educated, affluent populations. In Manchester-Nashua, the typical household earns $76,254 a year, nearly $19,000 more than the typical American household. Additionally, 37.3% of area adults have a bachelor's degree or higher, well above the comparable share of American adults of 31.3%.

New Jersey

In the Ocean City metro area, some 18.3% of adults drink heavily, a larger share than the 17.6% of adults across New Jersey as a whole and a slightly larger than the 18.0% national rate. While the populations in cities that report the largest shares of adults who drink to excess tend to be wealthy and well educated, the typical household in Ocean City earns $62,548 a year and 31.5% of adults have a bachelor's degree, each lower than the corresponding state figures.

New Mexico

Despite ranking as the heaviest drinking metro area in New Mexico, unhealthy drinking habits are relatively uncommon in Santa Fe. Only 14.9% of adults New Mexico's capital city drink excessively compared to 18.0% of adults nationwide. In addition to a relatively low excessive drinking rate, adults in Santa Fe are less likely to be obese, less likely to smoke, and more likely to be physically active than the typical American adult. Due in part to their healthy lifestyles, adults in Santa Fe are less likely to die prematurely of preventable causes than the typical American.

New York

Some 22.9% of adults in the Watertown-Fort Drum metro area drink binge drink or drink heavily, the largest share of any metro area in New York state. While wealthy individuals are more likely to drink excessively than the average American overall, the typical household in the Watertown-Fort Drum metro area earns just $45,624 a year, the least of any city in New York.

One factor likely contributing to the metro's high excessive drinking rate may be the presence of Fort Drum, a U.S. Army military base comprising approximately 10% of the metro area's population. According to a study by the Military Suicide Research Consortium, more than 50% of Army personnel binge drink - four drinks in a single sitting for women and five for men - on a monthly basis.

North Carolina

Of the 15 metro areas in North Carolina, Jacksonville is the only one where more than 1 in every 5 adults drink excessively. While a high binge and heavy drinking rate does not necessarily mean residents are more likely to drive under the influence, alcohol is a relatively common factor in roadway fatalities in Jacksonville. Some 35.1% of driving deaths in the metro area involve alcohol, more than both the comparable 32.3% statewide and the 30.0% U.S. shares.

North Dakota

North Dakota has the highest excessive drinking rate of any state. Some 24.7% of adults in the state drink excessively, far more than the 18.0% national rate. In the Fargo metro area, an even higher 25.2% of adults drink excessively, the most of any metro area in North Dakota and the fifth most of any city nationwide.

One factor contributing to the city's high excessive drinking rate may be the presence of several colleges and universities, where, according to a national survey by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, nearly 3 in 5 students drink alcohol. Fargo is home to North Dakota State University, the second largest university in North Dakota, as well as a number of private colleges. An estimated 12.0% of Fargo residents are enrolled in college, compared to only 7.4% of the state population.

Ohio

An estimated 19.6% of adults in the Columbus metro area drink excessively, the largest share of any of the state's 11 metro areas. Excessive drinking rates tend to be higher among better-educated, wealthier populations, and Columbus has both the highest median income and bachelor's degree attainment rate of any metro area in Ohio.

Despite being home to the largest share of adults who either binge drink or drink heavily in the state, Columbus residents appear to be relatively healthy. Only 14.5% of area adults are in fair or poor health, below the corresponding 15.0% of adults nationwide and the smallest such share in the state.

Oklahoma

Just 13.9% of adults in Oklahoma drink excessively, the seventh smallest share of any state. While Lawton's excessive drinking rate of 14.5% is the highest in Oklahoma, it is still far below the 18.0% national rate and below that of nearly 90% of all U.S. metropolitan areas.

The relatively uncommon heavy drinking habits among Lawton residents may contribute to some positive health outcomes. While nationwide 10.3 in every 100,000 Americans die from alcohol-induced causes annually, in Lawton the alcohol-related mortality rate is 8.9 deaths per 100,000 residents.

Oregon

At 21.1%, the excessive drinking rate in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro area is the highest of any of Oregon's eight metro areas. Binge and heavy drinking tend to be more common in wealthier populations, and relatively many Portland-area residents are high earners. Some 7.4% of area households earn more than $200,000 a year, the largest share of any metro area in the state and well above the corresponding share of households statewide of 5.3%.

Pennsylvania

Few groups are more likely to drink excessively than college students. In the State College metro area - home to Pennsylvania State University, the largest school in the state - 24.1% of residents are enrolled in college or graduate school, the fourth largest share of any city nationwide. Some 22.3% of State College adults report drinking excessively, much larger than both the state share of 18.1% and 18.0% national share. College graduates are also more likely to drink than the average American. Nearly 50% of State College adults have graduated from a four-year college, one of the largest shares of any U.S. metro.

Rhode Island

As the only metro area in Rhode Island, Providence-Warwick is the heaviest drinking by default. The 17.9% of area adults who either binge drink or drink heavily is roughly in line with both state and nationwide rates.

While unhealthy drinking habits are not more common than usual in Rhode Island or Providence, driving deaths attributable to drinking are. Some 35.1% of roadway fatalities in Providence and 40.4% of driving deaths in Rhode Island involve alcohol. In comparison, alcohol is involved in only 30.0% of driving deaths nationwide.

South Carolina

Some 19.3% of adults in the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Beaufort metro area report drinking excessively, more than the 16.6% excessive drinking rate for South Carolina as a whole and the largest share of any metro area in the state. Wealthy individuals are more likely to participate in activities related to drinking, such as going out to eat, going on vacation, and socializing with coworkers, and are more likely to drink heavily than the average American. In the HIlton Head metro area, the typical household earns $63,756 a year, far more than the state median household income of $49,501.

South Dakota

In Sioux Falls, 18.2% of adults drink excessively, a larger share than the 16.7% of adults who drink excessively in Rapid City, the only other metro area in South Dakota, and larger than the 17.7% statewide excessive drinking rate.

Binge and heavy drinking rates tend to be higher in wealthier, better-educated populations. In Sioux Falls, 34.1% of adults have a bachelor's degree or higher, and the typical household earns $63,931 a year. Statewide, only 28.9% of adults have a bachelor's degree, and the typical household earns only $54,467 annually.

Tennessee

Just 11.2% of adults in Tennessee report excessive drinking, the smallest share of any state. While the Nashville metropolitan area's excessive drinking rate of 13.7% is the highest of any city in Tennessee, it is still far below the national rate of 18.0% and one of the smallest shares of any U.S. city.

The relatively uncommon excessive drinking habits in the Nashville metro area may partially contribute to positive health outcomes. While nationwide 10.3 in every 100,000 Americans die from causes related to alcohol, the alcohol-induced mortality rate in Nashville is just 7.4 deaths per 100,000 residents.

Texas

With a 22.3% excessive drinking rate, Austin-Round Rock is the heaviest drinking metro area in Texas and among the heaviest drinking nationwide. As is often the case in areas with high excessive drinking rates, the Austin population is also a relatively high earning and well educated. Some 42.8% of area adults have a bachelor's degree, the largest share of any of the state's 25 metro areas. Similarly, Austin's $71,000 median annual household income is the highest of any metro area in Texas and about $14,400 more than what the typical household in the state earns.

Utah

According to a study by Utah state government and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, some 62.8% of Utah residents are Mormons, by far the largest share of any state. Alcohol is largely forbidden in the Mormon faith, which may be one reason why just 12.4% of adults in Utah binge drink or drink heavily, the third smallest share of any state. In the Salt Lake City metro area, some 15.2% of adults report excessive drinking, the largest share in Utah yet below the 18.0% national excessive drinking rate.

The relatively low of binge and heavy drinking in the state helps reduce the rate of alcohol-related fatalities. While nationwide 10.3 in every 100,000 Americans die from causes related to alcohol annually, in Utah the alcohol-induced mortality rate is 6.2 deaths per 100,000 residents.

Vermont

Burlington-South Burlington is the only metro area in Vermont and therefore the heaviest drinking by default. Still, 21.9% share of area adults drink excessively, a higher share than both the statewide and national excessive drinking rates of 19.6% and 18.0%, respectively.

While excessive drinking is relatively common in the Burlington metro area, other unhealthy habits are not. Adults in Burlington are less likely to smoke, less likely to be obese, and more likely to exercise regularly than the typical American. The healthier lifestyles contribute to favorable health outcomes. Only 9.1% of Burlington adults are in fair or poor health, well below the 15.0% share of adults nationwide.

Virginia

According to a nationwide survey by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse, close to 3 in 5 college students aged 18 to 22 drink alcohol on a monthly basis. The Blacksburg metro area is the home of Virginia Tech, one of the largest universities in Virginia. Some 20.5% of residents in Blacksburg are enrolled in college or graduate school, the largest share in the state and the 10th largest share of any U.S. metro. Many college students are likely among the 18.0% of adults in Blacksburg who report drinking excessively, a larger share than the 17.4% rate for Virginia as a whole.

Washington

Of the 11 metro areas in Washington, Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue is the only one in which more than 1 in every 5 adults drink excessively. Wealthier, better-educated Americans are more likely to drink excessively - and Seattle has the highest median income and bachelor's degree attainment rate of any metro area in the state. The typical Seattle household earns $78,612 a year, about $11,500 more than median income statewide. Similarly, 42.0% of metro area adults have a four-year college degree compared to 35.1% of adults across Washington.

While excessive drinking is never healthy, higher educational attainment and incomes appear to affect health outcomes across broad populations more than excessive drinking rates. Despite ranking as the heaviest drinking metro area in Washington, Seattle is also the healthiest. Only 11.4% of adults in Seattle report being in fair or poor health, well below the 14.3% share of adults statewide.

West Virginia

Alcohol is expensive - prohibitively so for many lower-income Americans. In West Virginia, the typical household earns just $43,385 a year, far less than the national median household income of $57,617. The state's low incomes may be one reason why just 11.4% of adults in West Virginia report excessive drinking, the second smallest share of any state.

In the Morgantown metro area, the typical household earns $50,120 a year, the most of any metro area in West Virginia. Additionally, a greater than typical 16.5% share of residents are enrolled in college or graduate school, where heavy alcohol use is far more common. An estimated 16.1% of Morgantown adults drink heavily or binge drink, the largest share of any metro area in the state.

Wisconsin

Drunkest city: Green Bay
> MSA adults binge or heavy drinking: 26.5% (top 10%)
> State adults binge or heavy drinking: 24.5% (2nd highest)
> Alcohol-related driving deaths: 50.5% (top 10%)

Green Bay is the heaviest drinking metro area in both Wisconsin and the United States. Some 26.5% of area adults drink excessively compared to 24.5% of adults in Wisconsin and 18.0% of adults nationwide. Despite widespread alcohol abuse in the metro area, adults in Green Bay report fewer mentally or physically unhealthy days per month on average than is typical nationwide

As is often the case in heavy drinking areas, alcohol-impaired driving appears to be a considerable problem in Green Bay. The metro area is one of only five nationwide where more than half of all driving deaths involve alcohol.

Wyoming

In the Casper metro area, 18.2% of adults drink excessively, the largest share of any city in Wyoming and slightly above the 18.0% national rate.

The high prevalence of heavy and binge drinking habits in Casper may contribute to adverse health outcomes. Alcohol is involved, for example, in 40% of all driving deaths in Casper, far more than the 30% national rate. Overall, 21 in every 100,000 Casper residents die from causes related to alcohol annually, more than double the national rate of 10 deaths per 100,000 Americans.

Alcohol abuse: The drunkest city in every state

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Excessive drinking claims the lives of tens of thousands of Americans each year and is responsible for about 1 in every 10 deaths among working-age adults. Alcohol abuse also takes a heavy economic toll. A recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that excessive alcohol consumption cost the U.S.

So Beyoncé is now a queen on an entirely different level: She's officially the highest paid woman in music, according to . Having earned $105 million pre-tax, her financial accomplishments include a world tour that grossed $250 million, the launch of her Ivy Park fashion line, and her stock in Tidal, just to name a few.

But one can't just make a bed from all that cash and roll around in it all day, as fun as that sounds. So how does Beyoncé spend all that money?

1. She buys insane homes. In August, it was reported that Bey and Jay-Z bought a Bel-Air mansion worth $135 million, and it features four pools, bulletproof windows, and a helipad. The 30,000 square-foot home has eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, custom fixtures imported from Italy, a 15-car garage, and an in-house spa and fitness center with a hot tub that fits 12. It was also reported that the Carters would be spending a mere $10 million to furnish the place.

But that's not the only property Bey nabbed this year - she also helped plunk down $26 million for what's being described as a waterfront estate in the Hamptons. It's just a little shack with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms over 12,000 square feet, situated on a 2.1-acre lot near a nature preserve. Plus, it has an infinity edge pool, "parque de Versailles floors" created by French craftsmen, and numerous 18th-century French Louis XV carved stone fireplaces. You know, the kind of stuff you usually have in a second home.

Of course, let's not forget that until these real estate purchases were made, she and Jay were renting a 10-bedroom, 14-bathroom villa in Malibu for a mere $400,000 per month.

2. She takes amazing vacations. Okay, so maybe her anniversary trip with Jay this year was kind of pedestrian - she went to the Grand Canyon and took adorable photos with her family. Sounds like something we would do! But she's best known for taking baller excursions all over the world, usually on some manner of yacht. Witness last year's visit to Italy, where she and Blue wore matching outfits as they walked along stone streets and chilled on a yacht. Or when the trio went to Ibiza and Brazil for Bey's 32nd birthday, where they once again lived the yacht life and Bey proved she was still one of us when she drank beer on the beach. Just look at their vacation photos. Oh, to live that life...

3. She buys Blue some amazing outfits. Blue Ivy has been slowly but surely entering the spotlight thanks to her famous mom - and what her famous mom dresses her in. Blue's wardrobe rivals that of a multitude of A-listers who walk red carpets for a living - no surprise, considering her mama's taste in fashion. But how many kids do you know rock a kelly green Gucci dress for $2100, or a ruffled Dolce & Gabbana hydrangea-print chiffon gown that matches her mom's for $545 or a butterfly and Swarovski crystal metallic Mischka Aoki dress that costs something between $8,405 and $10,637. Just one - although as twins Sir and Rumi get older, we'll undoubtedly start seeing them in some amazing kid-friendly designer gear, too.

4. She donates to charity. Of course, not every dime Beyoncé spends goes to fashion, real estate, and a rockstar lifestyle. She also gives back - a lot. During Hurricane Harvey, which hit her hometown of Houston, she and Blue served meals to those in need, and Beyoncé donated to relief efforts. She also has her own charitable organization, BeyGOOD, which partners with like-minded organizations to do things like fund scholarships, work with UNICEF to bring clean water to Burundi in Africa, and works with Jay's charity, the Shawn Carter Foundation, to give toys to the less fortunate over the holidays. Bey has worked with and supported 31 charities to date, according to Look to the Stars, including Feeding America, OxFam, MusiCares, the Boys & Girls Club of America, Stand Up to Cancer, and many more.

So while she may be making millions, she also spreads the wealth around to those who need it most. But what else would you expect from Queen Bey?

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Tuesday joined the ranks of presidents to pardon turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving, granting Drumstick and Wishbone the turkey mercy in the Rose Garden.

Joined by first lady Melania Trump and son Barron, Trump said he was "pleased to report that unlike millions of other turkeys at this time of year, Drumstick has a very bright future ahead of him." The president, saying "Hi, Drumstick," predicted the turkey "is going to be very happy."

Both Drumstick and his friend Wishbone will live out their years at Virginia Tech's "Gobbler's Rest" enclosure, where last year's pardoned turkeys - Tater and Tot - currently reside after then-President Barack Obama kept them off the carving board.

Trump noted that he's been "very active in overturning" executive actions taken by his predecessor - but not this time.

"I have been informed by the White House counsel's office that Tater and Tot's pardons cannot, under any circumstances, be revoked," Trump joked. "So, Tater and Tot, you can rest easy."

Drumstick - described as a classic 47-pound bird with a "tall and proud" strut - was dubbed 2017's National Thanksgiving Turkey, besting Wishbone in an online poll, 60-40 percent.

And the National Thanksgiving Turkey is... DRUMSTICK!

Wishbone mounted a last-ditch effort for votes by making a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room earlier in the day. Ultimately, the political gamble did not garner any last-minute surge in the poll.

The turkey pardoning is a longstanding White House tradition and after several minutes of remarks on a crisp fall day, Trump and the turkeys were ready to get on with it.

"I think Drumstick and Wishbone would be very thankful if we would just get around to the pardon. They say 'Enough talk, please pardon us,'" Trump said.

The president heads to Florida after the ceremony for his own Thanksgiving retreat at his Mar a Lago club.
