Party Town, USA!

Thanksgiving is coming up, followed closely by the Office Christmas Party, Christmas, and New Year's Eve - what are the top drinking cities around? Have a look~

Thanks to 24/7 Wall St, we now know the Drunkest Cities across the country! Awesome! Dubuque tops all fifty states with an admitted 30% binge or heavy drinking among adults. Binge drinking is defined as four to five drinks a sitting; heavy drinking is eight drinks a week for women, fifteen a week for men. according to data collected this year, excessive drinking cost the country about $250 billion in lost productivity in 2010. Nationwide, the top five includes cities like Corpus Christi, Texas and Kingston, New York. How about around here in the Midwest?

Fargo is North Dakota's top party town, with a 21% admitted binge drinking.

The Chicago-Naperville-Elgin triangle confesses to a 21% binge drinking rate in Illinois.

Dubuque tops Iowa, and the nation. Appleton, WI comes in second in the country and the state with 29%.

Duluth is the top spot in Minnesota with a reported 21% excessive drinking habit. But while we may admit to partying hearty, we also make up for it - or maybe overcompensate for it - with the lowest average of reported poor health. Yeah, just ten percent of Minnesotans report poor health from excessive drinking.

So, beers, I mean, cheers to you!
