New 2009 data shows that the "drunkest" cities in America are also some of the coldest—though drinking still doesn't warm you up.
According to The Daily Beast's inaugural compilation of the "drunkest cities in America," the top 15 drunkest in 2009—including Fargo and Anchorage—have an average annual temperature of about 50 degrees. Beyond that, dozens of tremendously cold-weather climates like Hartford, Connecticut (16), and Buffalo, New York (27), round out the list's top 40, ensuring that deserts like Phoenix (34) remain anomalies on the countdown.
Check out the list to see where your city falls. And remember, when trying to warm up, blankets always work better than bourbon (though they may not be as fun).
