Basically it's the bible belt with a surprise or 3 mixed in.

Well with my 1-2 beers a night (3 on weekends) I sure drive up the monthly average in Nashville!

I'm not surprised, though. Where I work there are a lot of people who are very religious, don't drink at all, and kind of look down on people who do.

Pretty proud that Knoxville is the only major city in TN not on the list! Glad I could help!

I was expecting Salt Lake City to be ranked #1 or #2.

 

[Tinga]

miami? really? i would figure their spring break would bring up their average quite a bit.

 

[ArcaneXor]

Yakima surprises me.

 

[buzzkill]

man.. Tulsa and OKC are on the list.. all my work for nothing.. :cross:

It was based off residents. Still though, I found Miami way odd to be on that list.

No, not really. Miami is mostly latin. We don't drink much.

What about the drunkest cities in America?

I figured Austin would be in the top 3 at least :rockin:

Well, there seems to be some contradicting data...

I've just spent a few nights in dry counties in Arkansas. The only way I could survive was by drinking heavily.

 

[ArcaneXor]

Dry counties... bah!

Number 39 here! Woot! I'm pretty sure I brought that average up myself, there's few enough of us here, I can wreck that curve!

Im 27! I thought we would be ranked better considering football season.

 

[azingsheim]

Always number 1...never gets old

 

[GeoGirl]

Sacramento beat out Chicago??? Guess things have changed in Sac since I left.

Is Chattanooga not a major city any more? Or did all my teachers just lie to me in school :cross:

 

[autobaun70]

Still trying to figure out how Greenville SC made the list of soberest. I can understand it not being in the drunkest list, but it is nowhere close to being sober.

 

[Bacchusuga]

Well the difference between some of the soberest and drunkest was a matter of a couple of drinks per month. Not really a huge difference.

 

[Slowfro]

Way to go WI...0 for 30 on the sober list and #1 on the "not-so-sober" list. Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[Broncoblue]

Salt Lake city isnt to bad. 50/50 on the mormons there but provo UT home of BYU is 90% + LDS and has one damn bar. The church buys up all the liquor licenses so new bars and restaurants that want to serve wine cant open up here. Tithing goes to temples and liquor licenses.

 

[LVBen]

miami? really?

Surprised the **** out of me!

 

[Shinglejohn]

Wow, Youngstown! Thats crazy.

 

[LVBen]

What.. we are 36th in drunkest? That can't be right!

 

[Chase22]

Damn, moved from Austin (4th drunkest city) to Dallas (14th soberest). What was I thinking?

 

[IffyG]

I got you beat... I lived in Milwaukee (drunkest) then moved to Nashville (soberest)...

 

[MistyMountainHops]

Not surprising at all. This is the home of the backwards alcohol laws. People's mind set here baffles me (hence the lack of quality beers available and wine in grocery stores).

 

[Ralelen]

Yakima surprises me.

Ditto.
