A whole lot of Wisconsin up in here.  Sheboygan was robbed!

Grew up basically in Appleton area (next door in Menasha).  Not all that shocked its #1.  Bars are everywhere and not a huge population there.

Hey!  Your name doesn't come from that popular, cult hit, 1985 karate movie does it?

Is there an article like this makes you click through 9 pages to get the final results?

How is New Orleans not on this list?

It is really heavy on Wisconsin and the upper midwest.

I spent several weeks in Madison (#4) over the past year.  I can vouch for it.

Those dry cities have much higher rates of premature death than drunk cities.  Guess who's hitting the Zima hard tonight?!?

Heavily favors the per capita thing Id say.  Appleton is not very big (same with Oshkosh)...but a ton of bars and lots of drinking.

Favors smaller towns/cities it seems.

I've never seen such statistical dominance.  Wisconsin is the Wayne Gretzky of drinking.

How many times did you go to Beansnappers?

Never did...moved away when I was 15.  Drove by it all the time on the way to the cottage up near Shawano.

Used to be a different club out by the Fox River Mall...don't recall the name of that one though.

no Vegas?

 

[Gary Coal Man]

That would be the Paradise club. Also known to the locals as the Parasite club. Been a few times before it was torn down but it was always better than the Loft was. If you've been there before you understand what I'm talking about.

We have an office/factory in Appleton...this explains some conference call experiences.

No wonder I spend as much time in Wisconsin as I can

 

[Statcruncher]

I had a pet theory that the drunkest towns were probably the ones with the ugliest people. Seeing Wisconsin so prominently represented tells me I was correct. That and being a Packer fan are an evil combination.

My wife's family is from outside Green Bay (Shawano for those in and around Appleton) and they younger folk spend lots of time in bars. When you are in a place where it starts snowing in early August and goes until June, there is lots of reason to drink!
