Enormous Chicago Drink Expenditure Estimated
The article states Chicago residents spend at least 64,220,000 annually on drink. It compares this to a 101 mile high stack of dollars, a 76 freight car train, a 5.26 mile long truck procession, and a bread wall around the city. It notes enough bread remains to build a fortress line on the lake shore and a flour mountain 1800 feet high, enough to feed the population for seven days, totaling more than five times the city's yearly taxes.
