Mag Names Most Dangerously Drunken Cities

Ratings Based On Disease, Wrecks, Laws

POSTED: Thursday, December 6, 2007

Two Colorado cities are among the three most dangerously drunken cities in a report from Men's Health magazine.

Three Texas towns were also among the 10 worst.

The publication looked at death rates from liver disease as well as binge drinking rates. It also factored in drunken-driving arrests, the rate of fatal car accidents involving alcohol and state efforts to cut drinking.

Part of the legal review was if people are limited in when and where they can buy alcohol.

Of the 100 cities in the survey, Denver was the most dangerous. The next nine worst were:

  • Anchorage, Alaska
  • Colorado Springs, Colo.
  • Omaha, Neb.
  • Fargo, N.D.
  • San Antonio, Texas
  • Austin, Texas
  • Fresno, Calif.
  • Lubbock, Texas
  • Milwaukee
  • El Paso, Texas; Spokane, Wash.; Washington, D.C.; and Columbia, S.C. also got grades of F.

    The city that got the best rating was Durham, N.C., followed by:

  • Miami
  • Buffalo, N.Y.
  • Jackson, Miss.
  • Yonkers, N.Y.
  • Salt Lake City
  • Little Rock, Ark.
  • New York City
  • Richmond, Va.
  • Jersey City, N.J.
  • You can view how all 100 cities fared.
