Before you read the attached story can you guess the answer? Here is the Article that contains the daily beast's answer.

Don't post the answer so others can guess LOL

Can't believe Fairbanks,Alaska is not on the list,or Puerto Rico as a matter of fact.

onkyo · 30 December 2011, 06:54 AM

I absolutely cannot believe NYC is not on this list. There is absolutely no way NYC didn't make it. There are thousands of bars and most have a steady clientele even on a Monday or Tuesday night. It seems that most social gatherings or work functions in NYC have alcohol involved.

cmac · 30 December 2011, 07:31 AM

my guess would have been Cleveland....but only if the Browns were playing!

Dr. Robert · 30 December 2011, 07:32 AM

My town.....San Francisco, #3 hoorah!

I'm off to have a Bombay martini, shaken, not stirred w/ olives!

Maybe every one stays below .08 in them

ducatidoc · 30 December 2011, 09:00 AM

OK, didn't read it, but my guess would be DC. Am I right ?

My choice as well, not even top 10. I had some wild times in DC.

Its based on percentage of population. They are clearly looking at metropolitan population since Boston doesn't even have 600,000 people in it yet they list it as 4,000,000. The population of Metro NYC is over 22,000,000 and just a fraction of that populate bars every night so I wouldn't expect them to rank... not a bad thing

Hubby and I contributed to the numbers as we stopped in at TWO of our favorite pubs on the walk home tonight! I love this city!

You Said it sistah! what's your favorite watering hole?

pacifichrono · 30 December 2011, 01:53 PM

My three longest residences are all in the top 15:

San Diego (20 years)
Minneapolis (22 years)
Sioux City (10 years)

(hiccup!)

psv · 30 December 2011, 02:05 PM

And I always thought that Annapolis, MD would come in on top. A drinking city with a sailing problem! (or was it the other way around... hickup...)

threemonkeys · 30 December 2011, 03:11 PM

Man, Seattle didn't even make the top ten. I've been stepping up my game recently, but I might as well quit drinking with dismal numbers per the list.

skyedog · 30 December 2011, 03:20 PM

Very interesting

will never guess it!

Andad · 30 December 2011, 04:47 PM

My suburb's not on the list so I voted for Atlanta 'cos Joe lives there.

Well, Norfolk made it. No doubt due to the sailors there.

The midwest is well represented here! I think this may stem from the fact that we have little else to do!

jasonclark · 31 December 2011, 02:04 AM

I'm surprised my apartment isn't in the top 10.

I tend to agree with you, it's less so now but when I lived in NYC in the 80's it was just like a European city, and pub/bar on every corner. But two things come to mind. The shear population of NYC and clearly not everyone drinks, also Bostonian's exaggerate...

joeychitwood · 31 December 2011, 06:31 AM

Yes! Fargo was Number 3 in the past, but it's worked its way to Number 2. Having worked in a large Fargo ER for ten years, I can personally attest to Fargo's ranking.

RedBaronF2001 · 31 December 2011, 06:33 AM

I'm really surprised Nashville isn't on this list. I can't throw a stone around here without hitting a liquor store or a bar.

77T · 31 December 2011, 08:48 AM

Fairbanks?

They are nice people(natives),they just like to drink... excessively.
