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.
