Earlier this month, Men’s Health magazine released a list of the top 100 “drunkest cities” in America. To compile the rankings, the magazine considered death rates from alcoholic liver disease, the number of deaths caused by alcohol-related vehicle crashes, the frequency of binge-drinking, the number of DUI arrests, and the severity of each city’s DUI penalties.
Fresno, California tops the list with Reno, Nevada; Billings, Montana; Riverside, CA; and Austin, TX not trailing far behind. Here’s the full list in case you’re interested. Is your city full of drunkards?
