Davenport & Cedar Rapids Are Among The Drunkest Places In Iowa
I'm sure a lot of "highly scientific" data was used to create this list.
This summer, RoadSnacks.net compiled a list of the most boring places in Iowa, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before something like this surfaced. Five area cities and towns were named among Iowa's drunkest:
- Manchester
- Cherokee
- Clear Lake
- Algona
- Grinnell
- Mount Vernon
- Spirit Lake
- Davenport
- Dubuque
- Cedar Rapids
Grinnell, Mt. Vernon, Davenport, Dubuque and CR each have at least one college, so I can sort of understand the logic there...but what about the rest of the list? Here's how RoadSnacks.net compiled its data:
First, we made a list of all of the places in Iowa with populations of 5,000 people or more. Then, we looked at each of these 95 places in terms of these boozy criteria:
- Number of bars and pubs per capita
- Number of wineries per capita
- Number of liquor stores per capita
- Each city’s drunk-related Tweets within the past week
- Each city’s divorce rate
Yeah, $#** just got real. But hey—if you’re drinking so much that you’ve ruined your marriage, you’re probably too bleary-eyed to read this anyway.
