There are certain distinctions that cities can take pride in (Arlington, VA, for example, is considered the most educated city in the country, according to Money Magazine), and there are others that they would probably prefer remain a secret. Such is likely the case with WebMD's listing of the 50 Drunkest Cities in America.
According to the article, Denver, Colorado is the most dangerously drunk city in the country, followed by Anchorage, Alaska and Colorado Springs, Colorado.
To come up with their list, the folks at WebMD looked at annual death rates due to alcoholic liver disease, as well as the number of people who regularly drink five or more drinks in a sitting. They then factored in drunk-driving arrests and the percentage of fatal accidents involving intoxicated motorists. They then took into account the MADD report card of state efforts to cut down on excessive drinking. The end result of this calculation was the following list, which can be viewed in its entirety by clicking HERE.
