A slang expression? "We were hanging pretty heavy in Seattle" Tue May 08, 2007 10:39 am  A slang expression? "We were hanging pretty heavy in Seattle"
 

Hi everybody,
Could someone help me to understand this expression?
"We were hanging pretty heavy in Seattle"
Is it a slang expression?
The context it's about Seventies, after political activism years. The persons in question drink a lot.
Thank you for helping me.

It could be in reference to spending a large amount of time with one or more people. Meaning: close relationship or friendship, hanging out quite often.
