Madison tops Milwaukee on new drunk list

Published Feb. 6, 2010 at 10:07 a.m.

Madison's more drunk than Milwaukee, at least according to Men's Health.

Madison ranked the 15th "drunkest" city in America while Milwaukee landed as the 58th "drunkest" city in the U.S.

The latest issue of Men's Health magazine compiled a list of 100 cities and ranked them based on data that included the number of DUI arrests, number of DUI-related fatal crashes, frequency of binge drinking, deaths related to alcohol liver disease and the severity of drunk driving laws.

Fresno, Calif. was named "drunkest" and Boston was named the "least drunk" city in America.

You rubes put too much stock in city lists, especially this one. Any drunk list that rates Mormon, alchohol hating Salt Lake City(97) above irish Boston(100) has some serious issues.

we're not at the top of this list cuz we know how to hold our liquor. i'm sure fresno is the "drunkest" city. those lightweights probably get wasted off two eco-friendly martinis and call it quits. there's no place i've been to in this country where i've seen more bars than milwaukee. we drink for any and every occasion. be proud. also, this list sucks

Wis. Film Festival

The Wisconsin Film Festival took over 10 theaters throughout Madison this past week. I made a surgical strike Saturday to take in the world premiers of two documentaries that could not have been more different.

Bo Ryan is wrong

One way or another, Jarrod Uthoff is gone from the Badgers basketball program. To hold him back, while within the rules, is a morally and ethically bankrupt position for the University of Wisconsin to hold.

Two sides of the divide

For weeks now, geologists have tried to identify the causes of the loud cracks and booms that are rattling the city of Clintonville. I would like to offer a figurative diagnosis. Perhaps the commotion is being caused by Wisconsin`s political psyche being fractured into two. Again.

Work hard. Play hard.

We all know that Milwaukeeans work hard and play hard, and now Parade confirms it putting Brew City in the top 20 on its list of "America`s Hardest Working Towns."
