How Sloshed Is Your Town?

[Cave Dweller]

Whoa. I am not sure of the criteria it used, but Men's Health ranked the most sober and the drunkest cities in the US.

Mine is the second drunkest in the nation.

Mine is the second drunkest in the nation.

99.    San Antonio, TX

Is that because of The Riverwalk?   

How many drunks have fallen in that dark water?  lol.

[Hingatao]

Mine ranked 66th. (San Francisco)

[Laser Man]

The ones I live closest to are in the top ten most sober category!

[Mike E. P.]

I'm closest to Bridgeport, in the top ten sober. I must be one of the outliers!

[Sir Harry]

I live within 20 miles of #15 (Baton Rouge) and 50 miles away from #11 (New Orleans). I guess the reason that New Orleans is so low is because the population is only about two-thirds of what it was pre-Katrina.....But then again, we do tend to get wasted for certain periods of the year (i.e. Mardi Gras which falls on March 4th this [incoming] year)

[TheSlyBear]

Apparently central Texas is Party Central! Austin is right behind San Antonia at 93.

Guilty.

Twice, actually.

In my defense, though, that was over thirty years ago while I was in college.

100.  Bakersfield, CA

I have now decided that my next holiday in the US will be spent in Bakersfield.
