It wasn’t officially a competition, but we do have a winner (according to the fine folks at MEN’S HEALTH magazine).

By an overwhelming margin, FRESNO, CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN NAMED AMERICA’S DRUNKEST CITY out of 100 entries! Time to celebrate!

Web Watch is sure that you’re asking how Fresno earned this vaulted honor. It was quite easy, actually.

Men’s Health took into account the following pieces of information:

Death rate from alcoholic liver disease
Deaths due to DUI
The number of DUI arrests
The number of admitted binge drinkers in the past month
The severity — or lack thereof — of DUI penalties

Cities were rated on a scale with 1 being the worst in the selected category. The lower your overall score ended up, the higher your city ranked on the “drunkest city” list. Let’s take a look, shall we?

We already know that Fresno, California is America’s Drunkest City — but who were the 99 runners-up?

The Super Bowl.

A time for getting together with friends, family, and co-workers for the ultimate Super Bowl party as you gather around the big screen to watch the game (and the Super Bowl commercials), while you hunker down with some awesome Super Bowl party food.

And what makes watching the Super Bowl with a crowd more interesting is a little friendly wager.

We’re not talking about anything crazy, money-wise. Everyone can just throw $5 into the pot and fill out some FOOTBALL SQUARES – you don’t have to know anything about the game, just put your name into a box and wait for the scoring to commence. Could be the easiest money you’ve ever made.
