California Heads List of America's "Drunkest" Cities
In the March 2010 issue of Men’s Health, the magazine posted a list of America’s “drunkest” cities. Fresno leads the pack, and four other California cities (Riverside, Bakersfield, Modesto, and Sacramento) round out the top 20.
The poll was based on a number of factors:
- the number of alcohol-related liver disease deaths,
- the number of binge drinkers in each city,
- each city’s DUI arrest rates,
- the number of fatal alcohol-related accidents, and
- how Mothers Against Drunk Driving rates each city.
It’s no surprise that cities where public transportation is more utilized fared better. Cities such as Boston, MA and New York, NY were at the bottom of the list, as DUI arrests are far lower in these types of metropolitan cities.
