October 12, 201511 yr Is there anything wrong with being called the drunkest city in your state? Especially in Kentucky, which drinks the 3rd least amount of beer and spirits every year. So someone has to pick up the slack, right? And boy do these cities below. How do you decide how much a place drinks? By the number of available places to buy booze, and by how often people are talking about drinking, that’s how. Plus, we thought why not add in a stereotype? Cause, you know, drinking is one reason for divorce, and something that divorced people do a lot of. Using that criteria, it’s not hard to scrape the internet, run some scientific data on where partiers might live in Kentucky, and then put out a list. Because, the data never lies, does it? So, hold our beers and watch this. After analyzing all cities with a decent amount of people in them, we came up with this list as The Drunkest Cities in Kentucky: Newport Bardstown Paducah Florence Lexington Crestview Hills Brandenburg Prestonsburg Corbin Frankfort As it turns out, many of these are smaller cities in Kentucky with many bars in town or nearby, where there’s a higher than average divorce rate. Studies have indicated that when one or both partners in a marriage are alcoholics, that couple is three times more likely to divorce. Read on below to see where your town ranked.

October 12, 201511 yr "Especially in Kentucky, which drinks the 3rd least amount of beer and spirits every year" Is this per capita or raw total sales?
October 12, 201511 yr ^ You know what I know from skimming the article. Ok, I see the criteria they used now. Not sure how accurately they can measure what the are looking for with that criteria. I personally would find it odd to see KY ranked 48 out of 50 states in alcohol consumed per capita. I would think we would be at least a few places higher, if not the middle of the pack.
October 12, 201511 yr My dude must have been in Japan when they did the survey if Danville ain't on the list.
October 12, 201511 yr The way the bars in St. Matthews carry on all week long I am thinking our Louisville suburb could have made the list.
October 12, 201511 yr I feel like during the school year Lexington would be a clear number 1. Of the 25,000 or so UK students you have to guess that a minimum of 15,000 are drinking on Friday and Saturday, and a good percentage those on Thursday nights as well.
October 12, 201511 yr I was thinking every college town would be on the list. Where is Highland Heights? :lol2:
October 12, 201511 yr My dude must have been in Japan when they did the survey if Danville ain't on the list. Danville was the only town I looked for.
October 12, 201511 yr I can tell you that Wilder was on that list Saturday night....I may have been responsible for putting it there
October 12, 201511 yr Newport #1 in something other than teenage pregnancy... :banana: These two things might go hand in hand. :lol2:
October 12, 201511 yr Probably because of the Bengals and Reds. Hard not to stay hammered if you are a Reds fan.
