Drunkest cities in America.
Something doesn't seem right here. All of these are northern cities; maybe the snow has something to do with skewing the stats, but Wisconsin looks over-represented here. I wonder if the statistics used in the methodology are reported differently by states... for example, consider the following:
Scenario A: Car A runs a red light and both hits Car B and kills its driver. Driver A is sober, but the toxicology on Driver B indicates a BAC of 0.2
Scenario B: Car A is legally stopped at an intersection when Car B rear-ends Car A, killing the passenger in Car A. Both drivers are completely sober but the deceased passenger had a BAC >0
Scenario C: Car A and Car B are involved in a minor collision that results in the death of a pedestrian who was intoxicated. Both drivers were sober.
I don't know about other states, but in Wisconsin, all three of the above scenarios would be reported as an alcohol-related driving fatality. If Wisconsin is the only one that reports alcohol-related fatalities so liberally, then that would certainly explain 12 of 20. But having lived in several states outside Wisconsin, I can't say that the differences in drinking habits are on the magnitude that goes along with having every single one of your metro/metropolitan areas in the top 20.
Have to agree with Benny. The results are 99% likely to be skewed by liberal statistics.
this is such crap. and no mention of alaska, new mexico?
hell, you know this is garbage when cudahay hey isn't somewhere on that list. ;D
