Among the drunks....
I'm guessing this ranking has everything to do with a certain blogger moving to Fresno......
The list below ranks the cities from most dangerously drunk to least dangerously drunk.
Most Dangerously Drunk
100. Denver, CO F
99. Anchorage, AK F
98. Colorado Springs, CO F
97. Omaha, NE F
96. Fargo, ND F
95. San Antonio, TX F
94. Austin, TX F
93. Fresno, CA F
92. Lubbock, TX F
91. Milwaukee, WI F
90. El Paso, TX F
In other highlights, Washington DC comes in at 88, Los Angeles at 65, Las Vegas surprisingly near the middle at 47, and the LEAST dangerously drunk cities are (below the jump!)
10. Jersey City, NJ B+
9. Richmond, VA B+
8. New York, NY B+
7. Little Rock, AR A-
6. Salt lake City, UT A-
5. Yonkers, NY A-
4. Jackson, MS A
3. Buffalo, NY A
2. Miami, FL A
1. Durham, NC A+
Wow. Miami. Who knew? Maybe South Beach wasn't included in the survey. Durham, though, I totally buy. Hell, they call it the "City of Medicine" and it's amazingly hard to buy alcohol in that damn state anyway. You almost CAN'T get drunk if you try.

A random Mexican was threatening me, trying to get me to go to Juarez with him.

Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at December 12, 2007 03:52 PMI've been dangerously drunk for years. Milwaukee surprises me, I thought it would have been higher.
Posted by: Contagion at December 12, 2007 05:26 PMThe rankings are based on arrests and accidents.
Milwaukee's placement must have something to do with the fact that we're functional drunks.
