Atlanta's known as the home of southern fast-food staple Chick-fil-A, the world's busiest airport and for being ubiquitously full.
But it could get a new reputation as one of the world's booziest cities.
The city is ranked No. 19 in a recent study by alcohol.org, an organization that provides information on alcohol abuse.
To arrive at the ranking, the organization analyzed 1,000 Instagram posts from travelers in 143 cities across the world that included the hashtags "VacationMode" or "Vacay." They used the posts as a way to understand how alcohol is featured in travelers' "vacation journaling," according to the website.
The study includes posts from February 2016 to February 2017.
