Las Vegas only 14th in America's Drunkest Cities


Wow - can't believe my resident city of Las Vegas only came in 14th!

Top honors for America's Drunkest City goes to.... Boston!

From The Daily Beast: To compile the second annual list of the “drunkest” cities in the U.S., The Daily Beast first analyzed data from Experian Simmons, a leading market-research firm, which provided data on the average number of alcoholic drinks per month the residents of more than 200 cities across the country reported to have consumed in a survey from earlier this year.

As well, consideration went to the percent of the population that are either binge drinkers or heavy drinkers for each metro area, according to the most recent data available from the Centers for Disease Control. The average number of drinks was given twice the weight of the heavy- and binge-drinking population for the final rank.
